“If you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go far go together.”
African Proverb
Our Vision & Values
As tempting as it may seem to believe, we are never really alone when we travel, even when we travel alone. This is not a popular sentiment shared by travel companies who make money by creating experiences where travelers focus solely on themselves, but why can’t you have a travel experience that is enjoyable, custom-made to your desires, and has the potential to help you help others and engage deeply with the places you visit?
What if we could reimagine travel in a way that was beneficial to everyone and everything involved? Travel that healed and didn’t harm the world we live in? It’s audacious, but it’s our mission.
We are a bespoke, full-service agency dedicated to providing rewarding and thrilling travel experiences for all kinds of people and organizations. In doing so, we believe:
Travel is for everyone
Travel has the ability to repair and not harm
Travelers should focus on the moment, and not the details
Travel should be equitable
Travel should be fun!
About Our Founder
Born & raised in South Central Los Angeles, David was fortunate to be exposed to travel at a very young age, where he would help his parents and their small business at different conferences and expos around the USA.
When he was a teenager, his travel journey took a big turn when he applied for a passport, boarded a plane, and visited Uganda in East Africa for a service trip. This experience catapulted David into a life-long love for travel, culture, and helping others see the world. Since then, David has visited 29 countries (and counting) and 5 continents, working, studying, and even living abroad. David is also a budding language enthusiast, a podcaster, and a non-profit director. He hopes to create a world in which everyone can get the chance to travel freely, recreationally, and ethically.
