About US
How It Began
CurioWanderer began as a dream shared by two lifelong travelers, sparked by a mutual love for immersive experiences and cultural connection. From an unexpected meeting at an overseas youth summer camp to exploring nearly 100 countries across all seven continents, our journeys have always been guided by the belief that one of life’s greatest luxuries is the ability to travel—to experience the world in all its beauty and diversity, and discover how it transforms not just how we see others, but how we see ourselves.
The name CurioWanderer reflects this ethos. A curio is a small object treasured for its uniqueness or meaning—often collected during travels. But instead of souvenirs, we’ve always been drawn to collecting experiences: the scent of spices in a local market, the sound of morning prayers echoing through a village, or laughter shared over a meal with locals. These are the moments that linger long after a journey ends, the ones that resurface in quiet reflections and remind us of our shared humanity.
CurioWanderer was created for travelers who seek more than sightseeing. Founded by travelers for travelers, our trips are thoughtfully designed with a host on hand to provide support on a daily basis, but without the luxury price tag. Each adventure is carefully crafted from firsthand experience, aligned with the idea that when travel resonates with your personality and purpose, it becomes transformative.
This intentional approach fosters a rejuvenating cycle: the more we explore with open hearts, the more we grow into thoughtful, empathetic global citizens—individuals who not only appreciate the beauty of cultural differences but also embrace the common threads that unite us all.
We’re not just crafting trips. We’re building a more peaceful, connected world—one meaningful adventure at a time.
MEET YOUR ADVENTURE HOST, JENNY
My love for learning about different ways of life began with a single moment: seeing a globe for the first time as a child growing up in Taiwan. That moment sparked a lifelong curiosity that has taken me across 70 countries and all 50 U.S. states.
Along the way, I discovered that the most powerful experiences happen when we slow down, immerse ourselves, and truly connect—whether it’s through food, tradition, language, or daily rituals. Travel, for me, has never been about ticking boxes. It’s about understanding how others live, honoring those stories, and finding pieces of ourselves reflected in people across the world.
That’s why I created CurioWanderer—to share that same sense of wonder, connection, and perspective with others. Each journey I design is rooted in this passion and guided by the belief that, at our core, we are more alike than different. We all seek peace, belonging and a sense of purpose.
If you're ready to explore the world in a way that’s thoughtful, personalized, and deeply human—I’d love for you to join me.
Let’s wander with curiosity, and celebrate the stories that unite us.
