The Booking: “I Want to Get Lost for a Day—But Only With Someone Who Knows the Way Back.”
The client was a tech investor from New York, in town for a conference—but tired of cocktails, meetings, and polite networking.
His request was playful, but with an undercurrent of lo
“Can you plan a day that feels like it doesn’t belong to anyone?”
Amaira smiled at the message. She already knew exactly what to do.
The Day Trip That Wasn’t in Any Guidebook
They met early morning at the Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal, coffees in hand, no bags, no map.
Amaira handed him a single ferry ticket: Bowen Island. Not for the touristy trails. But for the freedom of nothing planned.
They rented bikes at Snug Cove and rode aimlessly along quiet backroads, stopping to pick wildflowers and throw stones into the glassy water.
They wandered into a local bakery that wasn’t even on Google Maps. She ordered cinnamon cardamom buns, he added two random pastries “just because.”
They found a hidden cove around lunch. Took off their shoes. Let silence stretch between them.
At one point, he looked over and said:
“I haven’t been bored in a beautiful way in years.”
She grinned.
“Then we’re doing it right.”
The Moment That Stayed
As the sun dipped low, they boarded the ferry back—not talking much, but not needing to.
Before parting at the terminal, she handed him a folded napkin from the bakery.
On it, in ink, she had written:
“Sometimes the journey is the getaway. You don’t need a reason to remember a day that let you breathe.”
He later sent that napkin back to the agency, laminated.
Framed in his office in Manhattan.
