Ana and Nick were wonderful tour guides providing a personalized and authentic experience. They were friendly, accessible and responsive to our wishes. We felt like we were in good hands and could just trust their local experience. We especially enjoyed the dining recommendations!

Nick and Ana – Fabulous Guides

Nick and Ana were amazing tour guides when we traveled to Spain. They took us on several different city tours where their knowledge of the area and history were amazing! We were taken to many restaurants where we got to experience amazing food and atmospheres. They know all the secret spots to go to.

Why We Started Origins of Adventure

After traveling through nearly 30 countries — living in Madrid, backpacking through Japan, and discovering hidden gems in Southeast Asia — we realized something: the best experiences always came from local insight, not from top-10 lists. Origins of Adventure was born from our love of immersive, meaningful travel.

No cookie-cutter tours. No endless Google searches. Just custom travel planning backed by honest, local guidance from travelers who’ve been there — and want to help you go further.
