About

Our Approach

As Travel Planners: We're not in it for the money, we're in it to set your soul on fire through exploration, adventure and dining.  We want others to Trip Like We Do. The best part, we charge the same as if you booked the trip yourself, yet you have an expert at your fingertips, seamlessly curating the ideal journey at a budget that's best for you.

On Life: Take risks, leave no territory unchartered, take nothing for granted, and live each day on borrowed time. Memoirs on our blog aim to capture the essence of travel, lifestyle, and dining, as we explore the entire world, when applicable, with our golden-doodle who goes by the name of Travel Doodle Lux.

Restaurant Reviews: Most people look for things not to like (critics), we look for things to love (fans).  If we've written about it, we love it, and we think you will too. If we don't like something, we don't bash it, we just don't talk about it or recommend it.

We like to explore ideas and daydream about travel. Our friends call us travel addicts. Our passion is creating, manifesting, and succeeding.  We have never broken a promise to ourselves, which is an acquired superpower, you should try it, it's deeply gratifying.

Contact us anytime via our homepage, or socials for honest feedback and inquiries. We are more than happy to engage. Travel consultations are always complimentary.

Our Story

We've eaten at many of the World's Best Restaurants and have spent time exploring 7 of 7 continents, so that means we have first-hand experience in Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, Central America, North America, South America and remote destinations like Bora Bora, BVI and the Yukon Territory, to name a few.

We do this because we love learning about cultures and ecosystems through gastronomy, purveyors and first-hand research.  We have achieved our lifetime goal of seeing the entire world broadly speaking, and now we are backfilling specific destinations on each hemisphere, going deeper into cities and countries of familiar land.

We've traveled the world many times over, but have barely made a dent. There's still so much to explore, and it's all just on borrowed time. There is no hard end-date for us, so hosting mini-celebrations along the way (thank you Tim Ferris, The 4 Hour Work Week) has been our way to stay inspired, and live for something more than just "work".

In our spare time, we do like to found and design new businesses that help keep us active, young, and feeling our best. Our favorite thing to do is design travel plans for others!

We respect the value of time and money, and are experts at finding the best value at the best price while delivering the most luxury and joy to any occasion. We can't wait to work with you!

Example Travel Strategy: Because we like food so much, every trip we book for ourselves starts with deciding where we want to eat and then details evolve from there.  Personally, we prefer 30-45 day excursions to places like South America and Vail Valley so we have time to live like a local and familiarize ourselves with a true day-in-the-life of the people in that particular region. For example, in 2019, we completed a 30 day sabbatical to Antartica + Patagonia in addition to week long excursions in Vail, London, NYC, Turks & Caicos, Chicago & Hollywood. In 2024, we spent 90 consecutive days recharging our collective battery on the ski slopes. Our commitment to one another is to never stop exploring.

We're happy to share our insights about destination planning and cuisine, entrepreneurship, risk assessment and lifestyle pursuits, so please contact us at anytime. Thanks for visiting.
