our philosophy

We build meaningful, unforgettable and unique journeys for the discerning traveler

We focus all we have – hearts and work – on our “tribe.” There inhabits the seasoned and curious traveler, the one unafraid to explore. Our tribe loves seeing the soul and beauty of this magnificent world of ours.

We don’t stay in overcrowded hubs. “Unpack only once” is not part of our promise. But to you we promise authentic and fulfilling, meaningful and memorable. We take you to experience what the natives love about their countries, always with maximum comfort and refinement.

So, our experiences are not for everyone. We understand and respect that reality. But for those who “get” our purpose, for those who are our tribe, we work endlessly to deliver powerful experiences of discovery, fun and beauty, every single time.

our values

Our Promise to You Rests on Four Pillars

Respect

Simply fundamental. All that we do must, first and foremost, ensure that our clients, our partners, our staff and all those who live in our destinations feel entirely respected. The land must be respected. Nature must be respected. The people must be respected. All people. Honesty, fairness, care and much more are joined in a foundation of respect for all.

Authenticity

We study our destinations to understand what characterizes its beauty and relevance. Then, we fill our programs with what is most authentic about those destinations. We showcase nature, cuisine, hospitality and cultural experiences which are most valued by locals, not what is determined by the travel industry as most sellable. It is our way to stay true to authenticity, to enrich our programs with it.

Exclusivity

Our tribe is at the heart of what we do, every day. So, we don’t attempt to appeal to all. Instead, we put our efforts into creating excellence for those who love seeing the world like our tribe does. This philosophy restricts our audience to an exclusive set of travelers, and we don’t fight that. We embrace it and give them our everything.

Happiness

We are very serious about our work, but we can’t forget why we travel. And we travel because it makes us happy, joyous. Happiness from the scenery we see, the foods we taste, the people we meet and even from the hiccups that become fun stories, later on. So, we never forget that our work, serious as it is, is here to make you happy.

Reviews

Words coming straight from our travelers… our tribe

w Featured Hotels

Our travelers tell us that hotels are an integral part of their travel experiences. So, our staff handpicks each property for its unique character, local charm, and attention to detail. In our selection we treat comfort, location and service as “simply the basics,” so our vetting process goes well beyond that. Furthermore, our travelers tell us that they want boutique hotels. Not big, chain ones, because they want to be constantly reminded of the authenticity of the destination. Those hotels must reflect the region’s hospitality through their amenities and cultural touches. Therefore, we select hotels with the goal of making every night of your journey as remarkable as the days spent exploring.
