A husband-and-wife team. Alex has been to 85 countries. Katie has been to 26. Six continents. The story of how we got here — and how we'd love to take you there too.
I'm here to help you discover the beauty of the world — whether it's right in your backyard, or across the globe.
Alex has been to 85 countries. I've been to 26. We've learned so much along the way, and now we want to share those lessons with you — while creating opportunities for you to simply take advantage of the moment.
So join me on this journey. Let's explore the power of travel together. Whether you're looking for budget tips or a luxury getaway, I've got you covered.
My journey began years ago when I moved to Seoul. I lived there for several years, and from that point on — i never stopped exploring.
Korea taught me how to be a stranger gracefully. How to learn an alphabet from scratch. How to sit at a corner mart at 11pm eating ramyeon with people who had no idea who I was, and feel completely at home.
It is the country that made me a traveler. Every trip since has been built on it.
The surface of any place is the smallest part of it. Stay long enough to peel it back.
Outside of travel, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. That career gave me a passion for engaging with people of all backgrounds — helping me connect deeply with the cultures we visit.
It is, it turns out, the same skill: listening closely, holding space, and meeting people exactly where they are. It's how I plan trips, too.
We moved to Panama City in 2024. From our apartment in Casco Viejo we can hear the church bells of San José Cathedral and, on a clear Tuesday morning, the bass thump of cargo ships sliding through the canal a few miles south.
It is the most cosmopolitan city in Central America and the most underrated. The food is ten years ahead of where you'd expect; Tocumen connects to almost every Latin American capital in under five hours; and the country itself is two coastlines, four cloud forests, an archipelago of 378 Caribbean islands, and a 50-mile ribbon of canal — all within one passport.
Living here was the missing piece for the agency. We're now a Latin-American hub by accident.
There is a kind of person who lives in the country they always meant to. We are now those people.
Lived in South Korea for three years and never stopped going back to Southeast Asia. The listener, the planner, the one who finds the small true thing in every place.
Served in Bahrain, Jordan, and the UAE with the Marines, and explored every European country with the friends he made along the way. The logistics, the routing, the contingencies.
Some of these we did together. Most we did separately. Alex has been to 85 countries; Katie has been to 26. Most of the traveling happened between 2005 and 2021. We came back to it — for good — in 2024.

Carry-on only. Hostel-to-hostel. The 50-cent street food that wins every time. We've done it across 60+ countries on a working salary. We'll show you the math.
Bubble tents in Wadi Rum. Glass igloos in Lapland. The conservancies, not the tourist reserves. When you decide to spend, we'll show you exactly where it counts.
One-on-one trip design. We listen first. We build slow. The trip that fits your life, not someone else's Instagram. Concierge available for a handful of trips per year.
Let's work together and create your dream itinerary. The next country is waiting.
