All Roads North Launches, Offering Luxury American Road Trips

All Roads North headquartered in Venice Beach, California keeps that magical sense of discovery that road trips have always had but that's where the similarity ends:

1. Each road trip is tailor-made by an area specialist, designed from the ground up to perfectly match the interests of each client.

2. Through a network of local experts - naturalists, fishing guides, academics, artists - masters in their field, insider travel experiences bring a place to life.

3. Rather than ignoring the Airbnb revolution like others, All Roads North embraces it. Where exceptional hotels are limited they have access to beautiful private homes.

4. All Roads North knows how important it is to be connected, so they provide each client with a U.S. mobile phone, pre-loaded with your itinerary, contacts and road trip playlists.

5. For each client they create a custom-made Journey Guide that is based on their particular interests and outlines the best routes, places to stop and much more.

6. It's a road trip, so of course you'll need some wheels. From a classic American muscle car to a Tesla and everything in between, they've got you covered.

The company was founded by Sam Highley, a Brit whose globetrotting career includes helping an international e-commerce company expand in Asia, time in Buenos Aires with a leading luxury lodge operator, and a stint managing a remote fishing camp in Northern Russia. Despite having traveled the world, it wasn't until moving to Boston that he fell in love with the U.S..

He realized he wasn't alone in having underestimated America and while it was easy to find companies offering cookie cutter guided tours, there was nobody with a deep local knowledge focusing on luxury experiential travel in America.

For 18 months he traveled the country, covering tens of thousands of miles, taking the backroads, meeting guides, talking to locals, often camping in national parks, dusting himself off the next morning to visit a luxury hotel.

This epic journey cemented the company's ethos, the idea of ‘unpretentious luxury', which lies at the heart of everything they do. Perhaps luxury is a stay in one of the most indulgent hotels in the United States, but it could just as easily be a remote log cabin in a secluded national park.
