The Home Team

In a world that seems to change more quickly with each passing year, it is important to step outside our usual routine, to slow down, and to take time to remember what connects us all. We invite you to join us as we trek the paths of yak herders in Bhutan, paddle amid the sun-dappled islands of Palau, and discover the forgotten villages of Tuscany on foot. Our expert home team combines a love for travel with an insider's knowledge of off-the-beaten-path experiences and a passion to share the best of the world with you.

 


Matt Holmes, Founder and President

If there is somewhere you want to go, chances are we've been there

Karen Cleary, PR & Marketing, Destination Manager

Latest journey? Exploring Botswana's Okavango Delta with my mother…amazing.

Favorite places? Wherever I am at the moment; but if I had to pick a few standouts they'd be Peru, Botswana, Tanzania, and Ireland. And Kauai…mmm.

Favorite travel quote? "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming – wow, what a ride!!!" Words to live by!

Best travel experience? I've been so lucky to be able to see places many people only dream of. But it's not the famous places that I remember so much as the little experiences along the way. Waiting for the ferry to leave Great Blasket Island off the coast of Ireland I decided to take advantage of the time to get away from the little crowd at the dock. I found a secluded stretch of beach and went for a swim in the frigid Atlantic just as it was starting to rain. Nobody ever talks about the colors of the north Atlantic, but it's the most beautiful, translucent aquamarine color. There have been other memorable times, and some that are certainly more impressive to talk about, but that day has stuck with me…the perfect water, the solitude, and that totally alive feeling.

"Working with Karen was an absolute delight. There was never a point nor issue that did not receive prompt and professional answers. Having traveled the world with many different tour companies, I have never had the ease of experience that I did with Boundless Journeys. Thank you Karen, you made the trip planning fantastic!" - Diane Munro, Peru: The Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu


Beth Poulin, Communications Manager, Destination Manager

Latest journey? A summer adventure on the Croatian Coast.

Favorite places? Anywhere that mountains touch lakes, and lakes touch mountains.

Favorite travel quote? "Too often I would hear men boast of the miles covered that day, rarely of what they had seen." - Louis L'Amour; That's why I love hiking trips.

Best travel experience? Eating piping hot stir fried noodles sitting cliffside to Tiger's Nest Monastery in Bhutan on a crystal clear day at 10 thousand feet. I never knew a noodle could be so special.

Where Next? Turkey and Morocco; both very different places, but both with that sense of accessible mystique. They made it to the top of my travel list the minute we started researching our itineraries and getting to know the destinations.

Lastest Journey? Iceland.

Favorite places? Rome, Italy - a museum with no walls or ceiling . . . and that gelato!

Favorite travel quote? "Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul."  - John Muir

Best travel experience?  Being on the Spanish Steps in Rome when the Italians won the World Cup. Everyone was up on their feet dancing and singing. People were running through the streets. The energy was palpable.

Where next? Top on my list is Chile, Chile, and Chile to visit my good friend Jorge Moller.
