About Us

It all started with a dream

– A dream of escaping the ordinary and finding a life beyond the limits of urban landscapes. As two adventure enthusiasts, we often found ourselves yearning for something more: more connection to nature, more meaningful experiences, and more opportunities to share those moments with like-minded people. From this shared passion, Beyond Urban was born.

Our Philosophy

Life moves fast. Sometimes too fast. So fast that we are forgetting to be present. To us, being present is not “doing nothing”. To us, it’s about doing one thing fully, tuning in rather than switching off. It’s about hiking without rushing to the top, or surfing and thinking about nothing but the next wave.

With Beyond Urban, we aim to create a space for people who feel that there are more to your everyday life than commuting and rushing. It’s not about escaping, but to add more to your life that makes you feel alive. 

Community

Beyond Urban isn’t just for travelers. It’s built with the people who create the spaces, too – our hosts, retreat leaders, and partners. We connect those who seek with those who build, bringing both sides together through shared values and intentional experiences. It’s a community driven by people who want more than the ordinary life and yearn for outdoor experiences that feel raw and real.

The Founders of
Beyond Urban

Beyond Urban began as a dream - sparked by a longing we carried in our own lives.

We’ve always shared a passion for nature, movement, and the simple joy of just being outside. Beyond Urban was born from a dream of escaping the stress of the city to live a more active life – and help others do the same. But despite the desire, it was often time-consuming to find good options. Where do you even start? Who do you go with? And why wasn’t there a place where everything was brought together?

We missed having a community – a space to get inspired, find like-minded people, and book adventures without scrolling for hours or worrying about the quality. So we created Beyond Urban – your outdoor adventure travel agency where it’s easy to discover new outdoor experiences, meet people who share your interests, and feel confident that everything is handpicked and authentic. This is more than just a place to book trips – it’s a way to reconnect with what feels real.
