Get to know us

Services and history

We are a husband-and-wife team, retired Property Managers and accomplished chefs in our own right, living in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Being retirees, we found ourselves volunteering in various capacities to communities and non-profit organizations. In our conversations and interactions with the people we connect with, there is a strong desire for a wholesome and enjoyable experience for group travel and exploration in the Philippines, which gave us the idea to organize the Philippine Loopers Challenge.

In our previous travels, we met fellow travellers with whom we remain in contact to this day, and likewise, they have encouraged us in this endeavour.

Accept our open invitation to join us. The more the merrier, let's have fun and learn together. Travelling is learning and sharing.

People and culture

Our team members, friends, affiliates and people we met are what make us unique. We learn and share. Each one contributes to our personal development and to the success of our organization.

We are strong believers in collective effort and promote advocacy for a strong, responsive and prosperous society through travel and sharing of creative and innovative community development initiatives. We are committed to performing with maximum productivity through good governance, honesty and integrity without compromise.
