A design lover’s guide to conscious travel
Travel further. Choose better.
A discerning edit of destinations, stays, and experiences that celebrate the intersection of design, sustainability, and immersive travel.
Too many places. Too many options. Too much talk (over walk) when it comes to sustainability. Offbeat Goat cuts through the noise with a tightly edited collection of design-led stays, immersive experiences and journeys worth taking. We do the legwork, simplify the planning and connect discerning travelers with places that are beautiful inside and out.

the experience.
Travel that gets you closer to a place — exceptional local guides, communal tables, remote landscapes and experiences you wouldn't necessarily find on your own.

“We had such a fabulous time on our first trip to Greece and we owe it all to Saskia. She helped steer us to the perfect choice in destinations and recommended the perfect lodging and ”must-dos” while we were there. She was wonderful to work with, very responsive, knowledgeable and enjoyable to talk to. You are in great hands with Saskia!”

the eye behind the goat.
I'm Saskia, founder of Offbeat Goat.
Years spent living, working and traveling around the world have given me a fairly particular eye for places — thoughtful design, strong sense of place, interesting people and experiences that aren't always the easiest to find.
Offbeat Goat is where I share those finds — and use them to design trips that feel distinctly your own.

“Saskia is the best travel advisor I have encountered. She listened carefully to our interests, and reflected these back in the many recommendations she provided. We arrived in Greece, armed with city kit guides, restaurant recommendations, and sites not to miss. Saskia has an incredible eye and recommended gorgeous lodging at a range of prices. When it came down to booking, it could not have been easier! Loved, loved the experience of working with Saskia!”
