Welcome

Teresa and Mark Hildebrand have been avid travelers since the 1970’s, visiting over 60 countries and still counting. They met in flight school in the 90’s, obtained private pilot licenses, bought a plane and have sojourned together ever since. 

Teresa had a 41 year career in travel, starting in the hotel industry, and retired from AAA Travel where she was Vice President of the Travel Agency.  She has been on travel advisory boards for Royal Caribbean International, Walt Disney, Trafalgar, American Tours International, and Hertz Corporation. 

Mark worked in the architectural manufacturing industry for years after graduating with an architecture degree from Georgia Tech. His days spent in architectural history courses ignited his interest in exploring the world and experiencing first hand the historical manmade treasures.

Teresa and Mark enjoy traveling off the beaten path and have collected unique experiences in France, Italy, Spain, Kenya, Egypt, South Africa, India, Cuba, Galapagos Islands, Southeast Asia and other exotic locations around the globe.  They have many requests from adventurers to experience the same kind of travel they enjoy, so they have had the pleasure of taking small groups and families to enjoy luxury trips like Safaris, Taste of Italy and Villa Stay, Tanzania and Kilimanjaro Climb, Footsteps of Mandela, Palaces of India, and many land/cruise holidays.

They both welcome you to this travel blog that shares some of their adventures and how unique travel can be.  They continue to explore prior destinations, and seek out new and emerging gems to quench their travel thirst.
