hi there —

We're Mark and Anna.

A couple who've been traveling together since the beginning. We love going to new places, getting to know the culture, and really living in the rhythm of wherever we are. These aren't your typical vacations. They're experiences. The kind of memories you don't get without leaving home.

Hours spent researching

Together, we've traveled to more than 26 countries. When we started building these itineraries, they were just for us. Color-coded spreadsheets, obsessively organized, never meant for anyone else to see. We didn't want to waste any of our already limited time figuring out what to do or where to go. We wanted to enjoy every second, be present with each other, and actually understand the places we were visiting. Every trip we've ever planned was built with that same care and intention.

After eight years of putting these together, collecting countless photos and videos, and getting nudged by friends and strangers to share them, we finally decided it was time. We've spent that time going on the trips, learning what works and what doesn't, and refining each plan into something we'd actually hand to a friend. And so, Vacationary was born.

We want you to see the most of the world with the least amount of effort. To make travel easier, planning easier, and being present effortless. To come home with the kind of memories you'll cherish for life.

Life is short. Here's to making the most of it.

— Mark & Anna
