About Us

Imagine the stories you'll tell! At Applegate Travel, that's where you begin.

Founded by a father-daughter team, Richard and Bethany Applegate, our passion for travel runs deep — and personal. For Richard, the wanderlust started early. Childhood explorations evolved into lifelong adventures across 39 countries, including a transformative decade living overseas with his family. From rugged backpacking to luxurious retreats, Richard has experienced the full spectrum of travel. This inherent understanding of diverse travel styles fuels his commitment to crafting exceptional experiences.

Bethany shares this deep-rooted love for exploration. Spending 10 formative years immersed in different cultures, she developed a natural empathy and global curiosity that now shapes every trip she designs.

Together, we believe travel isn’t just about visiting new places — it’s about forging unforgettable memories, strengthening family bonds, and cultivating a profound connection with the world and the people in it.

We pour our extensive experience, global knowledge, and trusted network into designing personalized itineraries that resonate with your unique desires and dreams.

Our goal is simple yet powerful: to move you beyond the ordinary, to an extraordinary experience.

We can’t wait to help you write your next great story.
