Our Story

Founded on the idea that the best experiences can be found anywhere. We started Just a Small World out of a genuine passion for seeing, tasting, and living the world—whether it’s a restaurant up the road, a bustling city center across the globe or a tranquil island in the middle of an ocean.

Our knowledge for curating memorable travel experiences, whether for a couple's getaway or a group of family and friends, is built upon extensive journeys across 5 continents, 60+ countries, and all 50 U.S. states.

Complementing our travels is the deep immersion gained from residing in vastly different locales: the technology hub of the San Francisco Bay Area; over eight years as an expat in the Asian commerce center of Singapore; and our current home in leisurely, coastal St. Petersburg, Florida.

We see the unique essence of different places while also recognizing the common threads we share across cultures, deepening our appreciation for every corner of this small world.

On this site, we share our stories, insights, and proven tips (along with those from our friends) to help you get the absolute most out of every journey. It’s a small world after all—let’s explore it together.

A traditional Japanese garden with a pond in the foreground, surrounded by lush green trees and bushes. A cherry blossom tree with pink flowers is in the middle, and a large pine tree is behind it. A building with a tiled roof can be seen in the background.
A scenic view of a marina with numerous boats and yachts docked, surrounded by a small town, with mountains in the background under a clear blue sky.
Indoor farmer’s market with various fresh fruits and vegetables on display. There are people shopping, and the market has a rustic brick wall and hanging lights.
