"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." These words spoken by Mark Twain ring more true with each new destination. Seeing new places, experiencing new cultures, taking part in new traditions, trying new foods, meeting new people — all of it offers up a new way to see the world It builds empathy. It builds perspective. It builds understanding.

The more we travel, the better we see the world from a different point of view. But jumping on a plane, train, boat, and/or car to traverse this big blue globe is easier said than done. Plans need to be made, documents need to be submitted, bags need to be packed, and so much more. To some, travel is as simple as stepping out the door and to others it’s a massive undertaking that requires diligent planning and coordination. On both ends, having some sort of resource to get the most out of your travels is always welcomed.

Our mission is to pull back the curtain of travel anxieties to reveal eye-opening experiences—both big and small. Removing the worries involved with traveling helps us focus on the moments that let us see a whole new world. Think of us as your 21st-century travel sherpas, leading you to the hidden spaces and places around the world to amplify your adventures and make sure you don’t miss a thing.

As for the name, Endalook is inspired by the Icelandic word "endalok", which means Terminus. Hailing from Atlanta (also originally named Terminus), we figured the name was too fitting to pass up. Dig a bit deeper; that’s exactly what this is—a hub, a final point, a station, a destination for travel knowledge, stories, resources, advice, and more.
