We are passionate travelers, deeply inspired by the worlds of architecture, design, art, nature, and culinary culture. In today’s fast-paced world, we’ve noticed that travel is often more consumed than truly experienced. We believe travel should celebrate the human touch — the people who bring a destination to life. Our aim is to offer experiences that connect you with the creators, makers, and stories that make each place truly unique.

At aēsplore, each travel destination is curated individually. We begin by traveling and exploring the location ourselves, connecting with potential hosts and "originals" — those who define the creative essence of the place. From these relationships, we craft a unique travel experience featuring architecture, design, art, culinary, and other creative fields that make the destination special. Each experience is intimate, with a maximum of eight guests, or available as a private journey. No two trips are the same —each is truly one-of-a-kind.

We curate authentic experiences.
We connect.
The collaboration with our "originals" — the architects, artists, designers, and other creative minds who master their craft — is at the heart of our approach. Through their eyes and stories, our aesthetic explorers discover the authentic essence of each destination. Whether it’s a private lunch with an artist in their studio, a tour through an architectural masterpiece, or a curated culinary experience, our journeys are designed to inspire and transform. By fostering genuine connections, we offer intimate, curated experiences that reveal the true essence of a place, creating lasting memories for our community of architecture, design, art, and culinary lovers.
