JT & Nick

We've each been to more than 70 countries. We've done the famous places, and mostly we found them crowded and a bit boring. What we love now are the corners of the world that haven't been discovered yet.

People like to say Instagram and TikTok ruined travel. We think it's the opposite. Everyone scrolling for the same photo can go to Capri and St. Moritz, and we'll go where nobody has thought to look yet.

The trips we like best involve training somewhere beautiful, eating well, some design and art, and time with the people who actually live there. We love to cook, we love to eat, and we're always after a food or a tradition we've never heard of. The best part is when a place turns out to be nothing like what we'd assumed.

We also like doing it with other people, some of them old friends and some we're meeting for the first time. Interesting people in interesting places is pretty much the idea.

JT is also a travel agent with Fora, so he handles the logistics on every trip: flights, hotels, boats, restaurants. His bookings come with upgrades, free breakfasts, late checkouts and other perks. He books other people's trips too. If that's what you're after, see Plan Your Own Trip.
