From flying in first-class suites to lavish lounging on private islands, this is how this travel couple spends all their weekends. The idea of being able to have a stable life and career while keeping the travel itch satisfied sounds like an impractical fantasy. However, this is the lifestyle Maren and Max have successfully adapted to and shared with the world through their Instagram posts, blog, and Youtube videos, becoming known as Voyager Guru.

The love Maren and Max have for beaches has a contagious effect on those who catch a glimpse of their adventures. Hence, there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon. And every now and then, they share a new magical sunset from the window of a new overwater villa. Because of Instagram’s visual nature, they have such a beautifully curated grid that you can get lost in for hours. From secluded bungalows set above glimmering waters to exquisite suites overlooking the endless sea. Voyager Guru resembles an art gallery to travel lovers.

The story of this travel couple goes beyond what you watch on cinema screens or read in romance novels. Maren and Max traveled together to Dubai and Thailand shortly after meeting each other. They trailed along with the thrills of spontaneity and romance that came along their ceaseless travels. But Voyager Guru probably would not have existed if Maren had not sought to fulfill her fantasy of having their honeymoon in the Maldives. Since it was out of their budget, she decided to do what their friends have always advised them to do and share their travel experiences online, aiming to get the opportunity to travel to the Maldives as hosted guests. Eventually, PR companies started bringing them places, getting them into the habit of filming, writing, and posting.

Maren and Max have relished the freedom and flexibility remote working provides. They work full-time jobs in technology companies while maintaining their blog and fitting some travel in on the side. Videos of them frolicking on white beaches while emerald palms stir by a gentle tropical breeze make it seem like everything effortlessly happens for them. But in reality, they spend their nights and weekends working, giving up their downtime to keep their business going. But of course, their love for travel allows them to enjoy every bit of the process. “We love traveling, so it is not a job to us more than a fun adventure.”

The travel couple prides themselves on building a sustainable and honest brand while keeping their career and relationship all in balance. “Keeping the momentum going for several years is the biggest achievement itself.” They thoroughly convey their thoughts, reviews, and experiences through their Youtube videos and blog. Their insights range from smart travel tips to general advice that can be useful during your hotel stay. And on the strength of their consistency, they got to work with big luxury brands and hotels.

Maren and Max tell their travel stories through high-quality videography, gorgeous photography, and immersive writing so people can benefit from their extensive travel knowledge and tips. They have a 7-category rating system as they break down location, lobby & check-in, rooms, service, dining, facilities, and style. In the very end, their main focus is to help people make informed decisions for their luxury travels and have the right expectations.

By niching down to their specific focus on luxury & adventure travel, they have built great relationships with both brands and their audience. Voyager Guru has gained recognition for its combined expertise in hospitality and marketing. Accordingly, Maren and Max began doing hotel consulting as part of their experiences with hotels to help them offer the most elegant and indulgent stays for their guests.

The couple has fallen in love with many beautiful destinations. However, French Polynesia holds a special place in their hearts. They very much admire the Tahitian culture and the kindness of its people. More importantly, French Polynesia has spoken to their souls. Maren shared on Instagram that a bracelet Max once gifted to her on one of their visits to French Polynesia had broken on Tahiti’s beaches, and that is when she felt overwhelmed by a sense of belonging.

Maren and Max have scoured the globe for the most exceptional destinations and hotels.  They have truly gone above and beyond to achieve travel perfection. And it is safe to say that Voyager Guru has stricken the chord with the deepest desires of many of us; living life with unlimited travel, luxury, and pleasure with the person we love the most.
