About Us

Thanks for visiting our site! Its origins date back to the mid-1990’s when we were living in Europe and exploring the world. Working there, we were traveling constantly, so everywhere we went we always tried to take a little time out to learn more about the country and explore the sights. Documenting this in pictures and stories quickly became a hobby, and The Savvy Traveler was born. We found tools that would enable our visitors to book accommodations and things to do, so the site became a kind of reference / self service travel log.

We quickly found that our travel departments didn’t do the greatest job in making our routes and accommodations work the way we wanted. So we learned for ourselves, starting with some of the tools on this site! Arlene is a consummate travel investigator, and when we are not traveling ourselves and experiencing new locations and sites to see firsthand, she is often researching travel subjects. Over time the site has grown to be more than we ever imagined!

Now back in the US, we are putting our knowledge to use to help others plan trips that will become lifelong memories. We have developed a process that takes a lot of the work out of trip planning. Starting with our past experiences and leveraging our large group of contacts and travel partners, we work closely with our clients to ensure that their travel experiences exceed their expectations. We are affiliated with one of the country’s largest travel agencies and have hundreds of preferred relationships. Both our agency and our industry consortium provide specials, discounts and other perks regularly that we can make available to our clients.

We would love to help you plan your next getaway. Why not contact us today and let us help you plan your perfect trip?

Thanks again for stopping by, and we wish you safe and happy travels!

David & Arlene, The Savvy Travelers
