Hello and welcome to Where Are Those Morgans, your new go-to platform for travel guides, advice, itineraries and pocket guidebooks. We traveled the world non-stop for 6 years, visiting more than 40 countries and 30 US states, and it was the adventure of a lifetime.
Now, our only goal is to help you visit the same amazing places we’ve explored. Through our first hand travel resources, we’re here to give you the expert information you need to plan the best possible vacations.

Who Are We?
We’re Mark and Kristen Morgan, a British-American couple who met in an old life as career scientists. We shared such a strong passion for travel that we quit our jobs in 2018, got married and spent 18 months exploring the world on our honeymoon. And it changed our lives forever.
We knew that we wanted to help others travel to new places. So we started Where Are Those Morgans as a blog to offer free advice and tips, and now we help more than 2.5 million people each year with travel planning. We’ve finally put roots down but we’ll always be exploring new destinations.

What Makes Us Travel Pros?
After spending 6 years living out of backpacks and suitcases as we traveled extensively throughout Asia, Europe, South America and the US, we think we’re pretty well placed to offer expert travel advice! And it isn’t just how long we’ve been exploring, it’s how we explore.
We’re planners (and analytical scientists), so we have a methodical approach to travel. We stay in places for long periods, we do everything there is to do and we’re always out with our cameras from dawn to dusk. And you’ll find this style of travel (some might call it FOMO!) reflected in our guides.
How Can We Help You?
Travel, hiking and photography are our passions in life, and we love to help others visit new places, so this really is our dream job. Please take advantage of our vast amount of expert resources including free-to-read blog posts, our awesome pocket guidebooks and our bespoke travel planning service.
Whether you want to visit a new country, city, small town, national park, road trip, hike or photo spot – if we’ve been there, we can help you go there too.
Human Made Travel Resources
We want to make it clear that all blog posts and guidebooks available on Where Are Those Morgans are 100% human made, by nobody but us, Mark and Kristen Morgan. We don’t use AI in any way and everything you read has been created directly from our own first hand experiences.
We promise to keep it that way, so you can always be sure that what you’re reading is real, authentic and has been done before by fellow travelers.
