Elisa and Eddie didn’t set out to build a travel company — let alone redefine luxury in adventure travel. In fact, when we set out, we weren’t thinking about travel at all. We wanted to share the true stories of places we felt deeply connected to. Places that were — and remain — tragically under-appreciated, not only by tourism, but by humanity. Places with something to teach us. Unsung histories. Unseen landscapes. Forgotten ways of life. Along the way, we discovered that some stories simply can’t be told. They have to be lived. Each year, we guide a small number of adventurous, open-hearted travelers into some of the most remarkable, overlooked places on Earth. To experience them in full, and to live their stories fully. We’ve dedicated our lives to understanding & celebrating these incredible places. It’s a privilege to be able to share their stories, and to be part of your journey.
