Former location independent travel consultants and hobby photographer. Let us help you plan your trip
Let me introduce you to Jeffsetter Travel - a journey that began as a shared passion between my partner Jeff (our namesake) and me. Together, we ignited the spark of wanderlust as if we were lighter fluid. This is how it all unfolded, just two humans living out their own personal buddy-cop movie.
🚀 From Blog to Real-Life Adventures 🚀
It all started with our hobby blog, Jeffsetter, where we shar
ed our travel tales, point-hacking secrets, and captivating photography. We transformed our wildest ideas, often inspired by Pinterest boards, into annual dream vacations using our points and sheer creativity.
🌍 Our OWN Journey: Nomads of the World 🌍
In 2015, we embarked on a profound adventure, the One Way Never-ending Journey (our OWN Journey), a mission to explore every corner of our planet. With our cherished wine collection in storage and most of our possessions sold, we journeyed westward, embracing the digital nomad lifestyle for a remarkable five years before returning to the US to welcome the littlest Jeffsetter.
🌟 Turning Dreams into Reality 🌟
In 2016, we joined forces with Pique Travel Design as independent affiliates, becoming licensed (ARC and IATA) travel advisors. Today, we're dedicated to curating luxurious life experiences for our clients.
🚪 Door-to-Door Custom Itineraries or DIY Adventures 🚪

But we also know that sometimes, the thrill of planning is part of the adventure. That's why we offer DIY itineraries, providing you with the roadmap to plan your journey independently.
