Our story
About Voyage
We started with one belief: a trip is only as good as the people who shape it.
Voyage Travel Co. is a small, independent travel studio that has been designing slow, thoughtful journeys for the curious since 2012.
It began with two friends, a battered notebook of contacts, and a stubborn refusal to send people on trips we wouldn’t take ourselves. Fourteen years later we’re a team of fifteen planners and a network of local guides we’d trust with our own families. We don’t chase the biggest numbers. We chase the right ones – the traveler who comes home changed, and tells three friends.
What we hold to
Travel that gives back
We hire locally, stay in family-run places, and steer clear of the things that wear a place thin. Roughly 80c of every dollar stays in the destination.
Small by design
Groups cap at twelve. You’ll fit around one table, get to know your fellow travelers, and never be herded behind a flag.
Honest from the first call
Clear pricing, no padded extras, and we’ll tell you when a place isn’t worth your time. Trust is the whole business.
The people who plan your trip
A few of the faces behind the itineraries.
Mara Lindqvist
Co-founder & Asia lead
Lived in Kyoto for six years. Will argue, at length, about the best ramen in any given town.
Daniel Okeke
Co-founder & Africa lead
Grew up near the Serengeti. Knows which guide will get you to the lions before the convoy does.
Sofia Reyes
Latin America lead
From Cusco. Has walked the Inca Trail forty-one times and still tears up at the Sun Gate.
Tom Whitfield
Europe lead
Ex-mountain guide in the Alps. Plans the hut-to-hut routes the rest of us are too sensible to.
