Mike and Anne Howard left on their honeymoon in January 2012 and never came home. They created HoneyTrek.com to chronicle their journey across all seven continents and help people mobilize their travel dreams. Their story of the World’s Longest Honeymoon, savvy tips, and blog have been acclaimed by over 100 media outlets, from USA Today toLonely Planet. Having scouted hotels around the world for Honeymoons.com, blogged for Glamping.com, and authored National Geographic’s best-selling book on couples adventure travel (Ultimate Journeys for Two), the Howards were poised to write the first-ever book on glamping in North America. Their original research, on everything from the history of glamping to this travel style’s scientific benefits, has earned them a respected place in the glamping community, including a seat on the American Glamping Association Board of Advisors.
Through their writing, photography, public speaking, glamping consulting, and social media, the Howards hope to inspire more people to explore outside their comfort zone. Follow their adventures @HoneyTrek.
