We had the good fortune of connecting with Valyo Calvert and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Valyo, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
We’ve always felt that when it came to travel, people often ended up overpaying — and we knew there had to be a better way. After extensive research, we discovered that becoming travel advisors was the perfect path. Travel can be expensive and stressful, and we wanted to create a business that made it more affordable, seamless, and enjoyable.

What sets us apart is our background in aviation. Combined, we bring over 15 years of experience, from customer service agent roles to working as flight attendants. We’ve seen firsthand how overwhelming logistics can be, and that insight allows us to help clients avoid stress and focus on enjoying their journey.

On a personal note, I was born in Europe — a destination so many dream of visiting — and we love curating memories for travelers, one passport stamp at a time. That passion for helping others experience the world is what led us to launch Two Guys And A Passport. We wanted a name that was unique, memorable, and easy to connect with, just like the experiences we create for our clients.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
At Two Guys And A Passport, we bring more than just a love of travel — we bring the expertise of aviation professionals with over 20 years of combined experience.
