Black Book Travel founders Jon Rasmussen and Peter Slaugh share the passion of living life to its fullest and deepest. Both have led rich lives filled with world travel – from being dropped off by helicopter with Aboriginy Elders to explore isolated plateues and caves in Australia’s untouched Northern Territory to trekking through the Amazon Rainforest to engage in plant medicine ceremony, to hig
h Mountain temple expeditions with holy men and women, and dining with royalty in private luxury retreats. But most importantly, Jon and Peter share a passion for the vast inner experiences they have explored through extensive training and initiation in various spiritual and shamanic traditions. And they discovered that these inner experiences are profoundly deepened in certain environments and locations around the world that hold special power and influence over our senses. Combining that experience with their passion to share and provide space for others to readily discover the richness of their outer and inner world, gave Jon and Peter the idea of bringing people to the most exquisite and powerful hidden gems that the Earth has to offer. And their philosophy is to enjoy all of the food, beauty, culture, and fun that stimulate the senses, while also experiencing a deeply felt connection to the spirit of the place that can transform the traveller’s soul and life forever. Thus, combining their expertise and networks in both spiritual shamanism and luxury travel, and teaming up with the best tour companies in the industry – World Odyssey, and Matador Travel – they formed Black Book Travel. And they look forward to bringing your life to where it has never been before, and opening the way for entirely new possibilities.
