Travel Industry Expert | Adventure Travel Broker at ABC Trips / Always Be Changing
For the past six years, my family and I have lived and traveled continuously around the world, visiting every continent in a 13-month span and documenting the experience as full-time travel creators. Along the way, our YouTube channels have grown to more than 700,000 subscribers, drawn not to glossy brochure travel, but to the real version: the logistics, the decisions, the tradeoffs, and the moments that don’t fit neatly into an Instagram square. After decades spent running digital marketing agencies, I co-founded ABC Trips, a luxury and adventure travel agency focused on high-touch, experience-driven travel—polar expeditions, African safaris, expedition cruising, private yachts, and deeply cultural itineraries designed for solos, couples, groups, and families. The work sits at the intersection of brokerage, storytelling, and logistics, with a strong bias toward knowing what’s genuinely worth the splurge—and what’s just good marketing. Along the way, I’ve served as a quoted travel industry source for major publications, appeared on network news segments and podcasts, and collaborated closely with leading travel brands, lodges, and expedition operators worldwide. My commentary often focuses on luxury and expedition travel, family and multigenerational travel, travel trends, and what it actually takes to design a location-flexible life that works long-term. These days, my time is split between: - Advising clients on exceptional luxury and adventure travel through ABC Trips - Serving as a media source and collaborator for journalists and brands - Continuing to explore the world with my family—still learning, still curious I’m not especially interested in chasing trends or shouting into the void. I value thoughtful questions, smart conversations, and people who care about doing things well—and enjoying the ride while they’re at it. If our paths cross, there’s a good chance we’ll have something interesting to talk about.

Luxury Wellness Travel Expert at www.tim-kroeger.com
Tim Kroeger is a luxury wellness travel specialist, endurance athlete, and the creator of The Restorative Index (tim-kroeger.com/the-restorative-index/), a 100-point scoring framework that evaluates whether luxury wellness hotels genuinely restore guests — or quietly drain them. It is the only performance-based, repeatable hotel evaluation system that scores across six weighted pillars: Sleep Architecture, Environmental Calm, Nutritional Impact, Spa & Recovery, Movement, and Frictionless Operations. Tim is the official brand ambassador for Healthi Life (healthi-life.com), a longevity clinic in Bangkok, where he documents a long-term longevity journey with real clinical data. He competes in HYROX, marathons, gravel cycling, trail races, and obstacle races around the world, and recovers at the luxury wellness hotels he evaluates. That cycle of training, racing, and restoring is the foundation of his expertise. He is also the founder of Universal Traveller (universal-traveller.com) and the inventor of Luxury Bikepacking (universal-traveller.com/luxury-bikepacking-definition/), a concept that combines long-distance endurance cycling with luxury hotels, fine dining, and premium recovery, rather than camping and minimalism. His documented journeys include a 1,600km ride across Thailand and an 8,000km route through Southeast Asia. Tim holds a Bachelor's degree in International Tourism Management from NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands, with study campuses in Bali and Bangkok. From 2014 to 2020, he worked as a Flight Attendant for Lufthansa German Airlines, completing the Lufthansa Aviation Training service programme, an experience that sharpened his understanding of premium hospitality standards and genuine service excellence.

She works with a select clientele, including ultra-high-net-worth individuals, people seeking relocation to Italy, and those who expect their travel to be entirely handled by a professional.
