who we are
taunya & Christoph dressler
co-founders
Hi, Hallo, Ciao! We’re Taunya & Christoph!
For over 30 years we’ve wandered our world as educators, travelers, and professional tour guides. Our combined experience in educational travel and tourism has brought us around the globe from the cities of Europe to the seas of Southeast Asia to the deserts of North Africa and beyond. We are lifelong learners with relentless curiosity.
We started our travel journeys as Rick Steves tour guides in Europe. Since then, we’ve applied our passion for educational travel to higher education, designing and leading study abroad experiences for undergraduates and founding and directing a university faculty-led community travel program.
We invite you to join our community of global nomads. Feed your wonderlust—detour with us!
