In 2018, we (John and Marlee) got married, packed up our lives in Texas, and moved to London. Since then, we’ve spent over 800 nights—roughly 135 per year—exploring 60+ countries, always hunting down the best local spots and hidden gems.

For years, we shared our travel lists with friends, and they’re the ones who encouraged us to turn this into a business. We’re passionate planners who believe every trip should be unforgettable—without wasting time or money. Our guides come from real experiences, not influencer perks or AI-generated lists. Just authentic, well-researched recommendations to help you travel smarter.
