About Global Travel Companion

Meet the founders of the Global Travel Companion.
Yes — we’re two real people, lifelong friends who’ve been exploring the world together and apart for years. Between the two of us, we’ve visited over 29 countries across 5 continents, chasing sunsets, getting lost, learning the ropes, and always hunting for the best street food. We’ve made the travel mistakes so you don’t have to — and we’re here to help make your next adventure smoother

Elijah Deshaies - Co-Founder

Growing up in a small town in Colorado, I always dreamed of exploring the world. Fast forward to today, and I’ve had the privilege of traveling to 15 countries across five continents. My travel style is all about well-planned, budget-friendly adventures that dive deep into the local culture. Whether it's hiking for hours to reach a hidden temple or connecting with locals over a shared meal, I’m all about those authentic, life-changing experiences. Traveling has taught me so much, and I’m passionate about helping others experience the world in the most meaningful and affordable way possible.

Favorite Country (so far): Japan

Favorite Travel Experience: Riding a local donkey out of Colca Canyon in Peru

Dylan Chamberlin - Co-Founder

I’ve explored 14 countries across 5 continents so far, and I’m just getting started. My goal is to eventually travel to every country in the world—not just to check places off a list, but to fully immerse myself in the diverse cultures, landscapes, and stories that make each destination unique. I believe the best way to grow is through experiencing the unfamiliar, and I’m always chasing that next adventure—whether it’s wandering through ancient cities, trying local dishes off the beaten path, or connecting with people whose lives are completely different from my own. The world is vast, and I want to see it all.

Favorite Country (so far): Tanzania

Favorite Travel Experience: Night snorkeling with manta ray off the coast of Hawai'i

Our Why

After planning many of trips, we've realized the process was often overwhelming - too many tabs, too many opinions, lost sleep over if the itinerary covers everything, not enough clarity. Planning a trip should be exciting - not overwhelming. So we created Global Travel Companion to make travel planning simple, personalized, and inspiring. Our mission is to be the world's most complete, one-stop platform for travelers to explore with confidence. Whether it's your first trip abroad or your tenth, we're here to guide you from idea to itinerary.  

Important Note
We are not a Travel Agency, meaning we don't book things for you or assist with the booking process. We provide an itinerary with a well-thought out personalized plan for you with booking recommendations. Whether stays or activities are actually booked is your decision. This tool assists with the overwhelming process of getting a step-by-step itinerary together.

Travel made simple, journeys made yours
