Travel Better. Live Better.
Explorer X designs thoughtfully crafted, highly personalized journeys for those who are willing to travel with an open mind and an open heart, stepping beyond the familiar and into the unknown. Each experience we create is brought to life through the people you meet along the way: Local chefs, artists, winemakers, experts, and guides who open doors not just to places, but to new perspectives.
Because at its best, travel changes the way we see the world … and how we move through life.

Where to Explore with X
Explorer X thoughtfully designs to travel all around the world: Europe, Africa, Latin America, Asia, Oceania, and even Antarctica. (In fact, the only place we don’t plan travel to is the United States.)
Our decades of exploring have taught us that there are some places on this planet that are simply different … Places that invite us to connect with their people, their history, and their wisdom in a deeper, more meaningful, and more authentic way … places that inspire us to reconnect with the hidden corners of our own hearts, minds, and souls … places that challenge us to reconsider all that we think we know about ourselves, the world, and our place in it. We invite you to explore some of those destinations at the link below!
