Personal Travel Companion

Allow me to tell you a little about myself and my reason for starting this service.   I was Born 1968 in Virginia USA and now live in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado USA.   I've traveled my entire life.  My earliest memories are of travel through South America via a rickety old VW microbus with my parents.   Travel was born into my blood.   As such I've spent my adult life with a severe case of wanderlust.

I have worked jobs in many fields including the tourist industry, government researcher, web design and business owner.  It was not until I started this travel service that I felt I'd finally found my true calling.

Over years of travel I began noticing how different my own experience was from the average tourist.   In most cases people's interaction with a country's population and culture amounts to little more than a heritage festival.   They see cookie cutter demonstrations of what life is like in a culture and then return to their "all inclusive resort".  I supposed this would be fine if it were not for the empty reviews that most people seem to give their own vacations.  All too often their experience could have been had at any resort, anywhere.  I wanted to change that by showing willing adventurers that they can take the road less traveled (or go where there are no roads at all).  And when it's all said and done, they will be better people for the experience.
