The Euphoric Explorers is a travel writing and content creation company specializing in the travel, tourism, and hospitality industries.
Here is my story.
GROWING UP IN A MULTICULTURAL FAMILY
My passion for travel began when I was a child. Growing up in a multicultural family surrounded by relatives from around the world, I was fascinated by their unique cultural traditions and exotic foods.
The main source of inspiration for my interest in travel was my grandparents. My grandfather was a doctor who went on fishing expeditions to intriguing places. As I listened to stories about his trips to the Yukon Territory and the Amazon Rainforest, I developed a deep sense of adventure and a desire to explore the world.
My interest in global cuisines and appreciation for wines was sparked by my grandmother, a remarkable cook who enjoyed making dishes from exotic places that she visited during her travels.
IMPACTING THE WORLD THROUGH THE POWER OF WORDS
During my college days, I developed another passion, which was writing. I discovered the power of words and how they can impact people’s lives. This prompted me to get a degree in Journalism from the University of Minnesota’s Hubbard School of Journalism.
My first job out of college was working for the State of Minnesota’s international trade and investment agency. Our mission was to help companies expand their activities in global markets. This role provided opportunities to explore the world while traveling with business executives, industry leaders, and two Minnesota governors.
Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to travel to more than 50 countries throughout Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Middle East, but there are still many places left to explore.
THE EVOLUTION OF THE EUPHORIC EXPLORERS
The turning point in my journey and catalyst for change was the onset of the global COVID pandemic. Furloughed from my job with a company based in India, I felt it was the ideal time to pursue my dreams. After spending decades in a variety of corporate marketing and communications roles, I longed for more freedom, new challenges, and a chance to explore the world on a deeper level.
These factors prompted me to combine my two passions, travel, and writing, to establish a travel writing and content creation agency that exclusively focuses on the travel, tourism, and hospitality industries.
A diverse group of talented journalists, photographers, and content creators from around the world joined me in this venture, and the Euphoric Explorers was born.
According to the dictionary, the definition of the word euphoric is “a feeling that generates intense happiness, confidence, and a sense of well-being.” That’s precisely how we feel when we travel, and we agreed to name the company The Euphoric Explorers.
