Who We Are
Hello, fellow escapists!
Welcome to Travel with Intention, where we embrace the badassery of DIY travel planning! I mean, seriously, I was babysitting other people’s kids by the age of 9, trip planning expertise was the obvious next step. 😎
Our travel blog adventure began in 2019, amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. As seasoned family travelers, we decided to channel our passion into writing and sharing our experiences, hoping to sprinkle some “get outdoors” magic into the lives of others. No better way to combat isolation than with outdoor experiences that reconnected us and our children to nature.
Now, let’s get real for a hot second: traditional travel advice? Meh. It often feels like ticking off endless checklists and trying to cram a lifetime of experiences into a single trip. Quantity over quality. We’re really about a different priority!
After our fair share of travel fails—unused tickets, exhausted kiddos snoozing on sidewalks (yeah, that happened), and jam-packed itineraries that left us too drained to enjoy anything—we knew it was time for a change. Enter: Travel with Intention.
Fast-forward to today, and we’re in your DIY planning corner, armed with personalized recommendations and sample itineraries to help you create YOUR perfect adventure. Why? Because if you’re like me, you’ve been an independent spirit for most of your life, so why should your travel style be any different? We believe in empowering you to curate trips that speak to your unique goals, interests, and preferences. No cookie-cutter nonsense here, thank you very much!
Travel with Intention isn’t your run-of-the-mill travel blog. We’re all about transcending the typical tourist experience and embracing the idea that travel can be inspired. When you travel with intention, you get to see more—more than just what’s on the surface, more than what every other wide-eyed traveler gets to see.
So how are we revolutionizing the world of travel? Well, check it out:
📚 Our blog, newsletter, Instagram, Medium, and Twitter have reached tons of intention-driven travelers like you!
📖 We’ve penned a fabulous book, The Intentional Traveler’s Playbook: A Fun Guide to Meaningful Adventures.
🎙️ We’ve been featured in interviews and publications all over the interwebs.
📓 Keep your eyes peeled for our future course on creating authentic travel experiences!
Our mission? To help you unleash the ultimate travel experience—one that reflects who you are and what you truly want. Budget wisely, splurge where it counts, and stay in control of your journey. After all, travel is necessary, and oh-so-much better when done with intention.
So welcome, fellow DIY travel planners, to the world of Travel with Intention. Together, let’s create unforgettable memories, one intentional adventure at a time.
Happy traveling!
Meet your travel guides
Michelle
Enjoys sharing travel stories, photos, being the primary author and lead planner of Travel with Intention.
Norman
Enjoys travel because he wants to experience and embrace other cultures. A chef at heart, he doesn’t mind the idea of eating his way round the world either.
Joaquin and Diego
Joaquin is our chief videographer and his favorite aspect of travel is the new food and exposure to other cultures. Diego would truthfully be happiest just playing roller hockey every day but when traveling he favors any place that includes a beach and warm water.
