We are Travis & Ross, the duo behind the Breacans brand. We've travelled together for the past eight years, racked up over 140 countries and over 50 clients around the world. We’re now bringing you the best of our journeys through our Breacans Trips, Planning Adventures & Client Partnerships.
The reason for the name Breacans is because in Scottish Gaelic, "breacan" means tartan. Tartan is a big part of Scottish culture, with each clan having their own tartan. Now that might seem confusing, because we don’t actually sell tartan, but we’re big fans of it since Ross kicked off his kilted adventure around the world (find out more HERE). We landed on the word "Breacans" because we liked the sound of it, it represents community and best of all, the instagram handle wasn't taken!

I spent most of my childhood growing up and moving around Asia, so it seemed natural to keep exploring once I'd finished studying. I speak Mandarin & Spanish, and having travelled solo for a few years, I'm now focussing on working in the travel industry by building Breacans. Oh and I'm hoping to play the bagpipes in every country of the world!

Born in Pittsburgh, I then headed West to play collegiate volleyball against the best. Once my athletic career came to an end, I made a career shift and moved to Indonesia for 27 months where I served as a Peace Corps Volunteer. I then returned to the US to study a Masters in Youth Development, alongside working for the Peace Corps. In 2017 I made the jump to work in the travel industry and started working towards building Breacans as a brand.
