Why The Evolved Traveler?

Unmatched Experiences

Luxury travel and the desire to help build a sense of global community are not mutually exclusive. Our personalized journeys are designed with the benefits of both in mind, intertwining impeccable service and accommodations with the opportunity to truly experience destinations in-depth while simultaneously engaging with local communities.

Giving Back

As part of our commitment to responsible travel, The Evolved Traveler donates a portion of the proceeds of every journey to local environmental programs as well as social enterprises or charity organizations in each country we visit.

Sustainability

Our goal is to create a positive and lasting impact wherever we go, which is why we’ve created our own declaration of sustainability(opens in a new tab). We endeavor to protect the environment, the culture, and the local communities we visit and encourage all those we work with to implement sustainable tourism practices that are realistic and attainable within their sphere of influence.

What Our Guests Are Saying

Charlie Vrettos

Exceptional

I just returned from a luxurious 7-day trip to San Jose and the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica. The Evolved Traveler and the trip itself exceeded all of my expectations. All of the complexity was handled for us (scheduling multiple airplane trips, hotels, excursions, tours, etc) so we barely needed to prepare at all besides following the customized packing list, tipping guide, and other materials that they provided. The Evolved Traveler’s attention to detail and philanthropic mission is what stood out to me. This is the way traveling should be. I will definitely be using them to plan my next big trip.

Jennifer Galeo

I will NEVER plan my own getaway again!

Not only was the international trip unforgettable, Justin’s service beforehand and follow up after was superb. I’m bragging about Justin and The Evolved Traveler to anyone who will listen!

Phil Eck

Justin and his team at The Evolved Traveler not only helped us plan and coordinate our trip to the Amazon, but they also worked with us to plan a fabulous one-week extension to Cusco, the Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu.

On this extension, we were able to visit the wonders of the Incan empire, the amazing Andean landscape, learn more about the Peruvian culture, enjoy the fabulous local cuisine, drink more Pisco Sours and we had time to visit the Picaflor House. The Picaflor House provides a stimulating and dynamic after-school program to the children of Oropesa and several small villages in the surrounding rural area.

Leslie and I want to thank CarbonFund.org and The Evolved Traveler for making our dreams come true with such an unbelievable vacation.
