Adrenaline junkies and incredibly active travelers, we’ve racked up quite the adventure resume; skydiving over the Swiss Alps, wading through alligator-infested swamps, unearthing fossils of ice age animals, and having summited the highest free-standing mountain in the world (Kilimanjaro).
Our travels focus on adventure, discovery, cultural immersion, and exploration, and we blog about our journeys not only to inspire, but with all the practical tips so that you can experience the same!

What We’re About
Hagia Sophia, Istanbul.
As mentioned above, our journeys are about adventure, discovery, cultural immersion, and exploration. We believe that adventure can be achieved at any age, and that there’s no right or wrong way to travel. Travel is a personal journey and an individual experience, and it really doesn’t matter where your travel style falls in the whole tourist vs traveler debate.
Adventure means different things to different people, so whether your idea of adventure is backpacking through Europe, camping on an erupting volcano, or sitting aboard a luxury cruise through the Amazon, we cover it all!
We have a strong passion for ecotourism and aim to promote responsible travel experiences; conserving resources and minimizing our impact on the environments around the world ensures the places we travel to and the reasons we travel to those destinations remain intact for future visits by ourselves and future generations.
