As the husband-and-wife team behind Life Around The Bases, we created this space at a time in our lives when the things that mattered the most to us became incredibly clear.  Mark’s love of travel was the spark–his love of food, wine, craft beverages, and photography were all discovered through travel, and these things became the cornerstones of some incredible trip planning.  Through sound financial decision making, we have been able to invest in our time so that we intentionally set aside room for those experiences that have stirred our souls.  Our mission is to help you design and execute experiences that create the same feeling.  

We were married in Switzerland and have traveled to and from Europe many times over the years.  We have had the privilege of experiencing the history, heritage, and traditions of so many cultures, and have accumulated years worth of knowledge and expertise.  Our desire is to share it all with you, in hopes that your lives may be as enriched through the crafting of your own journey as ours have been.
