our VALUES
We're about taking trips that both teach us something new and expand our world through authentic experiences, unique adventures, and exciting encounters.
come together
We create meaningful connections with our world and with each other.
share the love
We respect and celebrate differences in people, places, and cultures.
Fun is good
We want everyone to have a positive experience - that means you, our team, and everyone in the communities we enter.
walk lightly
We keep the planet ready for the next generation by minimizing our footprint.
SUSTAINABILITY
We believe in slow and sustainable travel, protecting planet Earth, and giving back to the communities we visit.
Positive impact
As a purpose driven brand, we seek to leave a positive impact economically, socially, and environmentally. We believe in protecting planet Earth and leaving a positive impression in the local communities we visit.
We encourage engaging with the locals respectfully and with an open sense of curiosity.
Local partnerships
We use local partners to keep money in the communities we visit, rather than in the pockets of corporations. We feel strongly towards supporting the local economies and working with vendors that align with our values.
This helps maintain a happy, healthy, ecosystem and provides a more authentic experience.
mindful travel
We choose to travel mindfully, which means respectfully and openly engaging with different cultures, leaving nothing behind in places we visit, and taking time to appreciate the details and in-between moments that make life interesting.
​​​
Trips have been designed with these principles in mind and we invite you to practice them both with us and in your own.

We're a small group of travel-obsessed 20 and 30-somethings dedicated to taking you on the most amazing trips possible.
