Why we travel

‍

Someone said once that we shape our places, then our places shape us. All of our hosts are travelers who haven been deeply shaped by the places they call home, the places they visit, and the dream of the places they are yet to see. Now, they are people who want to shape the places that have become so important in their stories.

We are all connected to the cities and countries in which we act as hosts, and we love to tell the stories of these most magnificent destinations, so that through these trips you can find your story.

Why we started Origin

At our core, we are travelers. We have gone far away and returned all changed over and over again. Through our travels we have become the people we are, and through our ongoing adventures we are still becoming ourselves. Origin is our intent to share that experience with you, and with everyone who travels with us.

Through our decades of traveling the world, we have discovered the stories of our most beloved destinations: the small cafe tucked away off the main square, the view of the ruins from the rocky outcropping if you turn just one more corner on the trail, the corner of the museum from which you can see all the patrons’ awed expressions. What we’ve found is that as we travel the world, we discover our stories.

We created Origin with that discovery as the heartbeat. We are thrilled as we witness the electricity and growth our guests’ experience when they encounter Origin destinations and come into contact with something of themselves.
