Meet Matt

Hi there! My name is Matt, an avid adventurer, traveler, and gear nut. I’ve summitted windy peaks in northern Morocco, waded through knee-high water in the Narrows in Utah, and swam in cool, Mexican cenotes. I’m always on the hunt for a trip that pushes my physical limits, rewards me with breathtaking views, allows me to experience new cultures and gain new perspectives. I enjoy exploring our country’s amazing National Parks, and hope to see all 63 parks before my joints give out.

The joy of travel has given me so much: unique worldviews, harrowing experiences, globe-spanning-friendships, and stories worth passing down to the grandkids. I’d venture to say that if I hadn’t booked that solo trip to Mt. Toubkal in 2014, I would have never met my lovely wife, who has quite the impressive passport of her own! I currently live in St. Louis with my travel/life partner, Megan, and our three troublesome yet adorable pets (two cats, one dog): Zeus, George, and Juno.

Over the years, I developed quite the travel itch and it seems like every free second I have I’m thinking about where I want to go next. I hope that my travel experiences, trips, tricks, and lessons will inspire you to take that next step to reach your own travel goals and aspirations. I’d love to have the opportunity to help you plan your next amazing trip!
