That's me, Andy Hayes,
founder of Sharing Travel Experiences!

They call me "that travel guy,"
but I'm just a normal traveler like you.


“ There is nothing like a like-minded travel friend, is there?”

Hi, Andy Hayes here.  But most everyone calls me that travel guy, but call me Andy. I’m the founder of Sharing Travel Experiences, or STE for short.

When I was young, we didn’t travel much. We didn’t have the money. Heck, we didn’t even have the change for those glossy travel magazines. Remember the first time you saw a two-page spread in National Geographic? I do.

Once I had a taste of the travel (life)style, I knew it was for me. And this online travel magazine and vacation planning website is my place to share what I’ve learned, and to provide a meeting place for like minded travel friends. We call our travel style “value luxury“.

Value Luxury is about upgrading your travel by finding the experiences that make you feel special, fit your travel budget, and leave you with stories to tell for weeks to come.

Everyone’s definition of luxury is different, and we’re here to help you find the destinations, accommodation, attractions, food and drink that will be right up your alley, and provide you the opportunity to share your own value luxury experiences with others.

I think you’ll agree with me, sometimes it is well worth spending the money.  And sometimes, there’s nothing wrong with sticking to a budget.

Cheap Travel isn’t good enough. Amazing travel is.

As we like to say: we’re like your best friend who’s already been there. Our growing travel community is where you want to go if you want:

  • help deciding on where you want to go next
  • recommendations on what to do there, and what to skip
  • advice on how to spend money wisely
If you’re looking for a great group of travel friends, your first stop is our email newsletter: guaranteed value luxury goodness sent right to your email Inbox every month.

“We always look forward to receiving the new edition of Sharing Travel Experiences.

We love the stories, the photos, and the inspiration.”

- Doug, Nova Scotia
