About Us

Our Story

Welcome to Hao Travel! We’re a duo of adventurers from different corners of the world, united by our love for nature and exploration. One of us comes from a bustling city in China, while the other grew up in the Colorado foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Together, we love finding hidden gems and nature's beauty wherever we go, whether it's a national park or a vibrant city waiting to be explored.

Why “Hao Travel”?

The name 'Hao Travel' combines the Chinese word for 'good' (好) with the English word for 'travel.' For us, travel is not just about visiting new places; it's about finding the goodness and beauty in every journey. Whether we discover delicious food at a local joint, seek out public art that gives a location its character, or watch the sun paint new colors across an unfamiliar sky, we believe in embracing all the good that travel brings.

Our Mission

Our blog captures the stories and discoveries from our adventures around the world. We aim to:

Share Real Experiences: We document the highlights and the everyday moments - from finding the perfect bowl of noodles to catching a surprise street performance. Our stories come with honest tips and photos that show what it's really like to be there.

Inspire Exploration: We hope to encourage others to venture beyond tourist hotspots through our stories and guides. Sometimes, the best memories come from wandering down a quiet street or finding a rooftop view away from the crowds.

Travel Thoughtfully: We believe in traveling with respect for local communities and cultures. This means learning about the places we visit, supporting local businesses, and sharing the authentic stories we discover along the way.

What You'll Find Here

Our travel notes and photo diaries showcase the quietly beautiful moments we collect along the way:

Travel Guides: Detailed guides that focus on the best times to visit places (hint: when they're less crowded), where to find scenic spots for people-watching, and how to navigate new cities at your own pace.

Personal Stories: Our real experiences exploring cities and natural spaces - from finding quiet spots to watch the sunrise to discovering local art galleries that tell a town's story through its artists' eyes.

Practical Tips: Honest advice about getting around, finding peaceful moments in busy places, and those small details that make travel smoother - learned from both our wins and our "oh s•••"moments.
