Having traveled to over 100 countries, he possesses extensive international knowledge and a high level of expertise in luxury itinerary and tour development.

Believing that travel could, and indeed should, “evolve” into something even more rewarding and inspiring not only to the travelers themselves but also to the people they encountered and countries they visit on their journeys, Justin created The Evolved Traveler. The company curates personalized, international luxury journeys that encompass the highest level of Guest service combined with Sustainable Tourism and authentic community engagement components offering a “benefit to all” approach to travel. Justin believes the result is an end-to-end experience that benefits the traveler, the communities they visit, and the environment.
Justin resides in Los Angeles not far from where he grew up but continues to travel the world at every opportunity. He participates in community activities as well as spending time enjoying the “outdoor” lifestyle that Los Angeles affords his family and friends.

Mission Statement
The Evolved Traveler’s mission, in partnership with our guests, is to invoke travels’ most significant purpose: to build a broader sense of global community. We create our journeys to promote actionable, sustainable tourism and responsible travel opportunities to initiate an uplifting “benefit to all” approach that positively impacts the traveler, the communities they visit, and our environment.
A Benefit to All Approach
New destinations allow us to put ourselves into an unfamiliar environment where our senses become heightened, where we can be our best selves and fully enjoy the process of exploring. We are openly receptive to engaging in experiences that are meaningful for us, and for the people and communities we visit.
We consciously and passionately participate in the pursuit of the greater good.
Sustainability
Our goal is to make a positive impact everywhere we travel. That’s why we’ve composed our own sustainability guidelines. Sustainability is about looking after the environment, respecting local cultures, and supporting the communities we visit. We also encourage everyone we work with to participate in sustainable tourism in ways that work best for them. It’s about doing good in a way that’s doable for everyone involved and leaves a lasting, positive footprint.
