About WanderMe
Travel curators. Community builders.
A small, founder-led travel company making meaningful adventure accessible to everybody. Here's who we are and how we work.
What WanderMe is for
Purpose. Connection.
Impact.
Travel rearranges people, and the people you meet along the way do most of the rearranging. WanderMe exists to make that accessible to everybody: the solo traveler taking their first scary leap, the friend group that finally stopped saying "we should," and the family that wants more than a resort.
The math of belonging
Connection isn't a vibe, it's a design choice. Small groups, local leaders, shared tables. Around 60% of our travelers book solo, and by the welcome dinner nobody can tell.

How it works
Honest answers to
"so what do you actually do?"
We're a travel curator and agency, not a tour operator. Here's exactly what that means for you.
01
We vet, so you don't dig
We work with world-class operators like Intrepid, G Adventures and Exoticca, and hand-pick trips that pass our bar for adventure, group chemistry and sustainability. Every trip carries a Wander Score so you can see its impact at a glance.
02
You book through us at no extra cost
You pay the same price as booking direct. The operator pays us a commission for bringing them great travelers. That's how we keep the lights on. We book through our host agency, Fora Travel, which provides our IATA accreditation, so every reservation is fully accredited. No markups, no booking fees, no fine-print surprises.
03
Everything lives in one hub
Your bookings, payment due dates, documents and a direct chat with us, all in your traveler portal. Questions answered as soon as possible, by a team who've been where you're going.
04
And for the big dreams, we design
Our premium custom service builds one-of-a-kind itineraries from scratch. That one's high-touch and priced accordingly, and worth it. See how custom works →

Meet the founder
One bad week.
One boarding pass.
WanderMe started with a bad week. In 2023, the day before collecting his master's degree in sustainability management, our founder Tyler lost his job. So he did the one thing that made no sense on paper and booked a solo trip. He hasn't really stopped since: 38 countries, four continents, and a phone full of friends he met on the road and later visited in their home countries.
Friends kept asking how he always found the hidden spots, the local food, the off-the-beaten-path magic. WanderMe is the answer: the trips he'd recommend anyway, with the sustainability homework already done.
"I booked my first solo trip as one crazy thing to get through a bad week. It turned out to be the whole point."

Trips wearing the ✓ Verified badge are ones a member of our team has personally taken, start to finish. Each one carries our honest field notes: what blew us away, what to book early, which optional extras are worth it.
Even the photos on verified trips are ours, shot on the trip itself. No stock fantasy, no surprises when you land. As the team travels more, more trips earn the badge.
