A Latin American Luxury DMC Network

Who We Are

WhereNext Travel blends the spirit of a creative agency with immersive, real-world destination management company (DMC) expertise. Shaped by our roots in storytelling and media production, we bring a cinematic lens to itinerary design—crafting journeys that unfold like a story, open doors to hidden worlds, and introduce guests to people, places, and ideas they wouldn’t find on their own.

Our award-winning in-house creative agency produces an original travel content library that helps our partners capture attention and grow sales.

We are a singular luxury DMC serving Latin America, with our parent company, WhereNext Group, based in Seattle, USA, and all of our regional offices co-owned by local partners.

Alaska to Argentina

The road that reshaped WhereNext Group founder Gregg Bleakney’s life.

How It Began

WhereNext Travel grew from the personal journeys of its founders, Angelika Köhler and Gregg Bleakney.

Angelika left Germany, planning to spend a year in Latin America. In Colombia, she found a new home, mastered salsa, and built a family.

Gregg moved from a career in track and field to tech, then set off on an 18,500-mile solo bicycle ride from Alaska to Argentina. He went on to build one of Latin America’s leading creative agencies.

Both experienced moments that changed everything. Neither returned “home.”

What they found—on very different paths—was the same truth: the best journeys make us laugh until our stomachs hurt, introduce us to new people and places, bring quiet in wild landscapes, and invite us to grow through challenge.

Today, WhereNext designs cinematic travel that shifts how guests see the world, and pushes them to return home (if they choose to) a little different than when they left.

Just like the trips that rewrote the story of Angelika and Gregg.

Our Values

Remember When Travel Was Just…Fun?

In our experience, the best journeys often begin with nothing more than a gut feeling, curiosity, and the pursuit of fun.

How We Think About Fun

Community-First Travel, It’s Personal

When we first launched WhereNext Travel, we believed hiring “local” was enough.

But after employing teams in Colombia and Peru, we saw the truth: most tourism workers still operate informally, without contracts, benefits, or job security.

Community-first, for us, means working with suppliers and people creating real economic opportunity, for guides, chefs, hoteliers, because without that, sustainable travel isn’t real. It’s just a sales pitch.
