Currently based in Singapore in South East Asia, Mark has seen both ends of the travel experience from thatched huts with no power or plumbing on a remote Fijian island to the Presidential Suite at a hotel along Via Veneto in Rome. He says his ideal trip is someplace in between the two extremes, allowing for enough comfort to truly enjoy your travel but without insulating yourself from the places and cultures you hope to experience.

Mark first organized a group tour on a whim in 2004 for a half dozen friends to go to the South Pacific, the following summer, this  quickly escalated to 30 travelers journeying to central Italy for a week. Learning from each new adventure he hasn’t looked back since. At last count he has traveled to all 50 states in the US, plus a couple of US territories, as well as over 30 different countries around the world, sometimes with family or friends, but just as often alone, making friends along the way.  With a passion for photography (also shared by Pete) he is especially sensitive to the needs of photographers be they professional or just avid amateurs.

Living with his wife and two children in Upstate New York, Pete's passion for photography has lately been a driving factor for his travels. He believes the ideal trip has the perfect mix of structured itinerary and free time. Time enough to explore the locale on your own - but enough time scheduled with your group to create many shared memories. He is a strong believer in the "when in Rome" theory, and tries to immerse himself in the culture around him.

With children who are 6 years apart in age, he's well aware of the special needs families face when trying to entertain children of various ages at the same time - while trying to maintain their sanity.

Mike is currently living in Atlanta, GA with his wife and three children. Having lived in London recently, Mike had the opportunity to travel throughout Europe under a variety of situations: alone, as a couple, with friends, and with three young children in tow. He is an adventourous soul, willing to try anything once. Mike should probably have his own show on the Travel Channel.
