ABOUT US
We're independent explorers who have learned the hard way that timing matters in trip planning. We got tired of spending days planning a great trip at the right time for the right place, so we decided to build something better.
Who We Are
We are avid global travelers who are passionate about helping others experience the joy of travel. In 25+ years exploring the world, we've been to 100+ countries across 6 continents (so far) – sometimes as backpackers on a budget, splurging on once-in-a-lifetime luxury in others, and everything in between. Our travel experiences have enriched our understanding of the world, brought us to some of the most beautiful landscapes imaginable, and revealed – despite our differences – how much we actually have in common with people in other places and cultures.
We've been fortunate to see so much of the world, but our travel lists continue to grow no matter how many passport stamps we collect. And figuring out where to go next, when, and what to do there gets harder as that list gets longer and longer; it takes more time to research and evaluate more options, choose the ones that make the most sense for us, and be confident we're getting the most value for our travel-dollars.
That’s why we started Travlist – we wanted to build the tool we always wished we had. We’re here to help you find what’s valuable to you, make confident decisions, and plan your next trip with clarity and ease. We can’t wait to see where your list takes you.
Dream bigger, plan smarter, and go farther – your way.
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime."
~ Mark Twain
OUR MISSION
Our mission is simple: To help more people travel further. We strive to make it easier for travelers around the world to see and do as much as possible during their lifetimes, enabling them to discover new places, experiences, and people they might otherwise miss.
We're committed to unlocking access to travel for everyone, fostering cross-cultural understanding and appreciation, and forging human connections around the world.
OUR VISION
We envision a world where popular travel destinations no longer struggle with overtourism, and the negative effects of travel are mitigated by the transition of tourists to travelers who venture beyond the expected and become more conscientious of the local communities they visit along the way.
We strive to become a driving force in the growth of sustainable and responsible travel around the world – helping to make the world a smaller place by connecting people across cultures, backgrounds, and borders.
OUR IMPACT
We believe in the power of travel as a force for good, and that more of it is sorely needed.

We focus on value-for-money, including destination dupes, transparent alternatives, and DIY guidance, to help more people see and do as much as possible during their lifetimes.
Combatting Overtourism
Empowering you to discover new places in new ways - beyond the same old, trodden paths - to mitigate negative effects of over-tourism in popular destinations while supporting local communities in less-frequented places.
Promoting Responsible Travel
