Deb Idleman - Owner

I am a native of Colorado and currently live in Woodland Park, CO with my husband of almost 40 years, Tom. We have two grown sons. Tyler lives in Lakeside, Montana with his family and the Kenny lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado with his family. We have 7 grandchildren that bring us so much joy. We are at a stage in our lives where traveling and adventuring around the world has become a top priority. Seeing as much of the world and appreciating the different cultures is a blessing we don't take for granted.

I want to be able to share my passion for travel with as many people as possible. Helping create those dream vacations for folks brings me so much happiness. Whether it's a family reunion, girls trip, group trip, solo travel or anything else travel related, I would be honored to help. Contact me to get that conversation started!

Hello! My name is Vivian Hurley

I live in Northern Kentucky near Cincinnati, Ohio. I worked in the transportation field for 36 Years. In 2022, I wanted my life to be more meaningful and purpose driven so I became an Adventure Travel Specialist. I have a deep seated passion for exploring ancient civilizations, prehistoric cultures, and archaeological legacies in the form geometric earthworks, mounds, pyramids and other sacred sites all over the world.

I curate transformative experiences that cater to the intrepid explorer as well offering guided group journeys and cruises that allow explorers to experience the world’s most mystical sites though a lens of ancient wisdom and the celestial mysteries of archeoastronomy. I also specialize in unique adventures such as solar eclipse and nothern lights cruises.

Come with me and embark on an unforgettable journey of discovery.

Lisa Raup

Vacation Specialist

After 17 years in the oil and gas industry, I’ve shifted gears to pursue my true passion—travel. As a stay-at-home mom with two little girls, I want to show them the world and spark in them the same sense of wonder that travel has given me. From exploring Europe’s timeless cities to adventuring through Asia, and especially experiencing the magic of Iceland—my favorite destination—I’ve learned that every journey brings new connections, memories, and perspectives.

Now, I’m excited to help others discover those same moments of joy and adventure. Whether it’s creating unforgettable trips for families, friends, or solo travelers, I believe travel should be personal, meaningful, and fun.
