Who are we?
We are a team of passionate travelers who love what we do and see travel as a way to have fun and increase our joy in life. Nothing pleases us more than sharing our delight in traveling, with our clients. Among us, we have over 57 years of experience in travel and tourism, have visited over 31 countries, speak eight languages, and have participated in skydiving, scuba diving, snorkeling, horseback riding, hot air ballooning, hiking, camping, cycling, shamanism, motorcycling, photography, bird watching, weaving, and white water rafting.
Two of us are chess players, some of us can sing, and at least one of us can do a perfect cartwheel.
As you can see, we try not to take ourselves too seriously but we are serious about what we do: Design custom itineraries to give you the trip of your dreams.
