Our Story
We're Touchpoint Travel - the "we" that started as one woman with a carry-on, a high tolerance for airport shenanigans, and a lifelong crush on the world. Today, we design small group-journeys with lounge-level calm and street-level curiosity. We believe travel should feel like slipping into a great hotel bed after a day of getting gloriously lost.
The obsession began young: tiny, random hotels in Palm Springs where the ice machine sounded like a lawnmower and the pool turned our hair a suspicious shade of summer. High school and college added ski trip and the kind of lift-line diplomacy that teaches you more about people than any textbook. Every trip - fancy or feral - taught us something about history, culture, gastronomy, and ourselves. (Also: sunscreen. It taught us sunscreen.)
Then came the chapter that forged our superpowers: traveling with young kids. Suddenly, efficiency wasn't a cute personality trait; it was survival. We became ruthless editors of the suitcase, performed TSA like a ballet- shoes, laptops, liquids, applause - and learned to build itineraries that mix museum magic with playground sanity and gelato bribes at strategic intervals. That training stuck. Today, our itineraries still move with that parent-grade precision, just with nicer wine.
Now, as almost-empty-nesters, our travel spans everything: business, pleasure, and constant cameo appearances wherever the kids have decided to orbit - Starbase, Texas (yes, the rockets), New York City (bagels and opinions), or Zurich, Switzerland, where one of them may or may not be touring with a well-known band while pretending not to know us in public. We go anyway. We bring snacks.
What we bring to your trip is equal parts elegance and mischief: centrally located hotels so you can wander home at midnight like a local; orientation walks that double as neighborhood flirting; reservations that magically exist when you want them to; and the freedom to toss it all out because some street you've never heard of is calling your name. We handle the unglamorous details so your days can be all wonder, no wobble.
We believe in conversations with cab drivers, museum sprints followed by very long lunches, and the profound power of a single, well-timed espresso. We're here for people who want to see the icons - the Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum, whatever the Dutch are doing with bicycles - and also the bakery that's been open since 1908, with a line of grandmothers who will absolutely judge your order. We love a great lounge, adore a night market, and think "quiet luxury" pairs beautifully with "bold curiosity."
Is this a business? Yes. Is it also a love letter to the world? Also yes.
