Surprising, flexible, built around them
Favorite-things trail
Create three small stops around the person’s favorite tastes, places, people, or activities instead of planning one big reveal.

The shape of it
A simple run of show
- 01
Stop one
Begin somewhere familiar so the person feels comfortable rather than suspicious.
- 02
Stop two
Add one participatory activity, from browsing books to making dumplings.
- 03
Stop three
Finish with the person or place they would most want at the end.
Make it theirs
The detail that changes everything
Build from evidence: what they repeat, save, order, mention, or make time for.
Plan B
When real life happens
Make every stop independent so weather, closures, or low energy can shorten the route without ruining it.
