Who we are
A group of friends who believe the best memories are made on a trail.
Travel to Hike is Xiaobin and Abe's way of bringing their closest friends together once a year to do what they love most — explore wild, beautiful places on foot. Each trip is carefully researched and planned: a destination chosen for its dramatic landscapes, a mix of challenging summit days and relaxed exploration, and enough time to really settle in and experience a place rather than just pass through.
We believe two weeks is the sweet spot. Long enough to build a real rhythm as a group, push ourselves on some serious hikes, discover hidden corners, and still have lazy afternoons by a lake or a long dinner with local wine. These trips aren't tours — they're shared adventures among people who trust each other on a mountain and at a dinner table.
What we're about
Every trip is different.
A few things never change.
Real Mountains
We go where the terrain demands something of you. Summit days, ridge walks, canyon descents — places that earn their views. We pick destinations where the landscape is the main event.
Good Company
These trips are built around friendship. Shared miles on the trail have a way of deepening bonds that ordinary life can't replicate. Everyone on these trips earns their place — and earns their rest.
Thoughtful Planning
Xiaobin and Abe put serious work into each itinerary — researching trails, logistics, local food, and hidden gems. Each trip is tailored to the group and the destination, never a copy-paste adventure.
Mountains & Water
There's something about a glacial lake, a turquoise river, or a coastline beneath a ridge that makes a place feel complete. We seek destinations where dramatic peaks meet equally stunning water.
Two Full Weeks
We don't rush. Two weeks lets us find a groove, rest when we need to, take on the hardest trails, and still have evenings that stretch long over a good meal. That's the Travel to Hike standard.
Unique Every Time
No two trips are the same. A new country, a new culture, new trails that none of us have walked before. The only constant is the people — and the certainty that it will be unforgettable.
The adventures
Where we've been — and where we're going.
