We left our careers to become world travelers

Chill Haven Travel is about taking on life. We are both in our 50’s and have been together for eight years. We met in the corporate world and quickly discovered a deep connection and each other’s passion for traveling and discovering new places. 

We weren’t together for long when we had the opportunity to leave the corporate world to follow our passion.

So here we are. We started Chill Haven Travel to experience new territories and share our discoveries with you. At an age that most are holding out for their pensions. Yep, we live on the edge.

In addition, we’ll show you how we have downsized to become minimalist travelers. In fact, we travel with everything we own.

Current & Planned Chill Haven Travel Adventures

Before Chill Haven Travel, we’ve lived in and experienced South Pacific islands for the past 4 years.

The world and its current situation with COVID brought us to Africa. Okay, then we’ll explore it like we did the islands.
