Established in 2009.

Knowmad was born from this idea — we make creating your own authentic and innovative trip stress-​free, ensuring that travelers are able to experience, enjoy and grow. Since day one we’ve been dedicated to the highest level of customer service and traveler satisfaction. Our values of authentic travel, a spirit of fun and adventure, and a profound respect for the cultures and environments that we visit have helped us connect with an incredible community of travelers from around the globe. Working with this community is my greatest privilege, and hearing excited travel tales upon their return my greatest joy.

Business Owner

Tara

Having been born with a substantial wanderlust tick, I’ve been perpetually focused on the next great adventure. I’m endlessly inspired by the cultures, food, colors, and idiosyncrasies I discover. Ironically though, part of what I take away from travel is a deeper sense and appreciation of home. Here in Minneapolis, I strive to live locally, while thinking globally. I feel so lucky that Knowmad has enabled me to be a part of people’s life adventures.

Jordan

While studying abroad in Chile during high school, I became hooked on international travel. This addiction eventually led me to traveling through most every nook and cranny of South America, working for an adventure race in Patagonia, and guiding trips in Chile and Argentina. Travel brought me incredible experiences and challenges, highlighting the world’s natural beauty while connecting me with inspiring people. Ultimately I became convinced that travel makes us better people, and better people make a better planet.
