Traveler in Motion

Our Modern Approach

Combining Adventure and Tech to optimize your travel experiences.

What began as an unforgettable adventure between twin brothers Max and Luke became a mission to help others unlock their full potential through gap years. After an eye-opening year of travel and self-discovery, we realized that the real value of a gap year comes long after you return. Now, we’re here to help you plan your own journey that will change your life, expand your perspective, and make you more productive and happier when you return to school or work.

Program Steps

We have developed a methodology for planning the perfect gap year that aligns with your values, needs, and interests. We have frameworks and models to help you discover exactly what you want to accomplish.

Discover & Plan

Define your gap year goals using our key frameworks. Secure visas, jobs, and experiences requiring early preparation.

Finalize & Prepare

Book accommodations, flights, and excursions. Connect with like-minded travelers. Get fully ready for departure.

Support & Adjust

Regular check-ins to refine plans and adapt to new opportunities while letting you explore independently.

Reflect & Transition

Use our frameworks to turn your experiences into career and education opportunities. We help with resumes, school, or planning your next adventure.
