From a single campervan and boundless curiosity to Australia's trusted name in curated travel experiences
Espersoggu began in 2009 when founders Mia and David Chen spent eighteen months travelling every corner of Australia in a converted van. What they discovered was a country far more diverse, surprising, and story-rich than any guidebook suggested.
That journey sparked a simple question: why wasn't there a travel company that shared these hidden experiences? Not tourist traps and coach tours, but genuine encounters with the land and its people.
The principles that shape every journey we create
We seek out real experiences, not manufactured attractions. Every stop, every meal, every encounter is chosen because it reveals something true about Australia.
Our routes support local businesses, from family-run cafes to Indigenous-owned tour operators. Your journey creates positive ripples through communities you visit.
We're committed to sustainable tourism practices. Every vehicle in our fleet is carbon-offset, and we partner exclusively with eco-certified accommodations.
Since those early days, we've guided over 8,500 travellers through Australia's most remarkable landscapes. Our team has grown to include 28 guides, each selected not just for their expertise, but for their genuine passion for storytelling and connection.
We've evolved too—developing exclusive partnerships with Indigenous communities, pioneering low-impact camping techniques, and continuously refining routes based on traveller feedback and new discoveries.
