So, What Is Modern Explorers?
The short answer?
Modern Explorers is a small, independent travel company I created to help people experience the world more meaningfully. No crowds. No fluff. Just honest, well-crafted journeys led by someone who actually cares.
The longer version?
Over the years, I’ve travelled to more than 60 countries across all seven continents, some of them multiple times. I’ve motorbiked through India, sailed past icebergs in Antarctica, hiked volcanoes, eaten my weight in street food, and watched the sun vanish behind the moon in the middle of the Sahara. And the best parts? They were never in the brochure.
The best parts were always about people. About the feel of a place. About slowing down long enough to notice what was happening around me, and what was shifting inside me too.
Modern Explorers came out of that space. Friends and strangers kept asking, “Can you help me plan a trip like the one you just did?” Eventually, I stopped sending long recommendation emails and decided to create something real. Something curated. Something small on purpose.
What I Actually Do
I run small-group trips for curious people who want to travel with intention. Each journey is designed from scratch. No generic templates. No 30-person buses. I build them slowly and carefully, in places I know and love.
Right now, I’m focused on two experiences:
Vietnam: Lanterns to Limestones – a 10-day cultural trip through central and northern Vietnam
Morocco: Eclipse Caravan – a 14-day journey across Morocco, built around the total solar eclipse in August 2027
There will be more, but not quickly. That’s kind of the point.
Why I Keep It Small
Because travel should feel human.
I keep the groups intentionally small, usually 6 to 10 people, so no one’s herded or rushed. You get time to sink into the moment. You get places with character, guides with stories, and itineraries with room to breathe. You’re not a client. You’re part of the trip.
Every journey is led by me personally. If I ever bring someone else in to guide, it’s someone I know well and trust completely. That’s not a tagline. That’s a promise.
Go Far, Stay Curious
That’s my motto. It’s simple, but it carries everything I care about.
I don’t build trips for box-tickers. I build them for people who still want to understand the world, and maybe even their place in it.
If that sounds like you, welcome. You’re in the right place.
