Amylee Silva
Some people stumble in to a life of travel; I on the other hand was born in to it. I was 1 year old the first time I sat on plane, and I was five when I first flew by myself. Since then I have been on over 120 flights, 5 continents and 23 countries. I have travelled for business, pleasure, with friends, family, and with out; on organized tours and then sometimes just travelled on a whim. Some people work to live, others live to work, but I live to travel.
Lianna Martin
After college, I strapped on a backpack to gain some real life experience. In Peru, my life forever changed, and I fell in love with adventure travel. I’ve ventured over the Tibetan Plateau, through the Nepali Himalayas, across the deserts of India and the Middle East, beach hopped through Sri Lanka and eaten my way through Italy, France and Spain. Staying within budget has become a sport for me (the only one I was ever good at!).

Matt Kepnes
Like most Americans I only had two weeks of vacation per year. But then on a trip to Thailand in 2005, everything changed. I met five backpackers who showed me that I didn’t have to be tied down to my job and that I didn’t need to be rich to travel. After that trip, I decided to leave the rat race and explore the world so I finished my MBA, quit my cubicle job, and, in July 2006, I set out on an adventure around the world.
Jodi Ettenberg
Hello! My name is Jodi and I’m a former lawyer currently traveling (and eating) my way around the world, one country at a time. I don’t tend to have a set plan or bucket list of things I want to see or place I need to enjoy. Instead, I’ve found myself organically moving from one place to the next based on a food recommendation or a fellow traveler’s enthusiasm for a city somewhere far away.
