About
Travel is about more than where you go.

It is about how an experience changes the way you feel, the way you see the world, and sometimes even the way you live when you return. We believe everyone deserves more moments that inspire wonder, create connection and make life feel bigger.
Live Out There Travel began as a private habit: after every trip, a record of the hotel, the room worth requesting, the table that deserved the reservation, the bar with the terrace nobody mentions. Friends asked for the list. Then friends of friends. Eventually it made sense to do it properly.
Today that habit is a working library of hundreds of places, each one rated, tagged and annotated with who it genuinely suits: a solo traveler, a couple marking something, eight people on a Friday night. When you ask where to stay in Lisbon or where to eat in Mexico City, the answer comes from experience rather than a search result.
We combine personal guidance, trusted expertise, passion and thoughtful planning to create travel that feels meaningful from the first idea to the journey home. We book through preferred partner programs, which often means upgrades, breakfast and property credits at no extra cost. But the real value is the editing: anyone can find a hundred options, knowing which three are right for you is the work.
Our purpose is not simply to help people go somewhere. It is to help them experience more of the world, and more of what makes life feel alive.
Who you are working with
Dan Stephen
Founder & Travel Advisor
Dan founded Live Out There Travel and plans every journey personally. There is no queue and no account manager: the person who reads your first message is the person who designs the trip and answers the phone if something changes while you are away.
He is a travel advisor with Fora, which is how bookings are placed through preferred partner programs, often adding upgrades, breakfast and property credits at no extra cost to you.
Behind the recommendations sits a working library he has kept for years: every hotel, table, bar and experience visited, rated and annotated with who it genuinely suits. It is the reason the answers here are specific rather than generic.
