About Patty

Two decades of traveling the world in the context of archaeology made me really good at two things: history and travel. Combining those with my existing skills - writing and photography - created the perfect background needed to create a line of travel books and accessories.

During those decades, I became very focused (picky!) about all of the details that go into making, taking, and enjoying a trip. Much of that was about what I didn't want, the things that took away from the enjoyment. Over-crowding was at the top of the list.

I know we have all been taught to 'herd' travel by clumping around the top 10 sites in every destination, but there truly had to be another way to travel. I understand that a lack of money and/or time encourages speed travel. But that wasn't for me either. So I created an entirely new way of looking at travel that enables you to go as deep as you want, at the speed you like, and remain as independent as you prefer at all times.

Cheers and Happy Travels!
