Welcome

Like you, we are travelers.  We’re either traveling, planning travel, thinking about travel or learning about travel.  It’s part of our DNA and so is sharing our knowledge and experience with you.  
 
We believe people excel in things they are passionate about.  When it comes to travel, we’re passionate about the unique, the quirky, the hidden gems waiting to be discovered in every destination.  We want to be immersed in rich cultures, taste their foods, understand their histories, their native wildlife and natural wonders.    

We believe in embracing all parts of a destination, appreciating their accomplishments, learning from their mistakes, and even leaving them better through impactful activities like volunteering for community projects, or donating items to a wildlife rescue.  Even choosing to stay at a locally owned hotel or eat at an independent restaurant versus global chains.  This is how you connect.  This is how you make an impact.  This is how you truly become a traveler.
​We’re also passionate about learning what’s new, what’s now and what’s next.  Whether you want to travel through Europe by river, cross Africa on a train, sail the Caribbean on a masted sailing ship, or trek through exotic Central and South America with a private guide, we know how to make that happen.

We know what it’s like to see the Pyramids of Giza with 10,000 other tourists and we know how it feels to be alone on a grassy field in the Swiss Alps with a bottle of wine.  They are both amazing but the trick is knowing which, if not both of those experiences you need.

We excel in custom private journeys and uncommonly grand group adventures, personally escorted by us, through our Explorers Club.  Let us design your travels as if they were our very own.  The only difference is, while designed by us, they’re completely tailored to you.  We have the knowledge and experience to help you see this world. 

After all, to truly be a traveler, it isn’t what you’re looking at, it’s what you see that matters.
