Curiosity.
An invitation that makes you wonder what happens next.
Our story
We’re serious
about being human.
We design adventures for your time off. Food, play, unfamiliar places and unexpected discoveries, all brought together with thought and care.
Explore the experiences
Why Unprofessionals?
You can care about work.
And still go play.
Time off has possibilities of its own. An evening can become an exploration of your senses. A few days away can give a passing curiosity room to become something you actually try.
We design around those possibilities. We choose the setting, shape the activities and host the experience so you can get involved in what’s happening. The details matter because they change how a moment feels.
An activity can be enjoyable and have something inside it worth discovering. A new taste. An unexpected idea. A moment when you surprise yourself. That’s the kind of depth we’re interested in.
Play. Curiosity. Something worth discovering.
What we make room for
Care.
Thoughtful hosting, a considered pace and attention to the details.
Discovery.
Something to notice, enjoy or see differently through taking part.
The person who started it
Hi, I’m Sam.
I moved to China at eight without knowing the language. At thirteen I returned to the US. At twenty-two I moved to Vietnam and started again.
Those moves gave me a lot of practice being the person who didn’t know anyone. They also showed me how much can happen when you leave room for an unfamiliar place and the people in it.
The Unprofessionals grew from that. I design experiences that give people something real to do together, and room to be themselves while they do it.
I also work as a coach and Mental Fitness Specialist. That background shapes how I design: paying attention to how people actually feel in the room, and leaving space for something unexpected to happen.
I’m in the games and conversations alongside everyone else. That’s the part I like.
More about Sam ↗From people who’ve joined our experiences
“That day gave me permission to step forward into the person I am becoming. Writing down what you want is one thing. Actually taking the action is the second part, and that day was the action.”
“Sam is a warm, trustworthy, open-hearted guide. Being around people both tender and willing to have fun will make your oxytocin rise. This was a good Saturday.”
“Had a super fun day playing with other adults. Very uplifting and just what I needed! Fun times!”
“It was great to jump into a challenge where I could actually push myself into a little bit of an uncomfortable position to get over the state of fear.”
That’s us.
