We are Ellie and Luke, the Traveling Trollers! Two ordinary daytime desk job mid-westerners with a passion for creating extraordinary experiences by exploring this amazing world. You might have caught our theme here “Extraordinary Experiences for Ordinary People”

Before we go any further, I think we should address the elephant in the room, or should I say the “Troll” in the room. What is a Troller? Is that your last name? Are you internet trolls? Why would you call yourself Trollers? These are all very valid questions, so please allow me explain. The origin of the name comes from our short statures and questionable choice in friends (kidding we love our friends). Being the resourceful couple we are, we have since embraced this name and have made it our own. We believe that a “Troller” is someone who explores and has a longing to experience what the world has to offer. We believe that there is a “Troller” inside of all of us and we hope to share our tips, tricks, & experiences with our fellow Trollers out there.

In this site you will find write ups, itineraries, tips/tricks, resources, and a whole heap of other content to ignite your travel passion. As we stated, we are ordinary travelers who don’t focus on extravagances or luxury, rather we put our time and energy into experiences. We travel smart and plan things out ourselves to create amazing trips. Learn from our mistakes, save yourself some money, get inspired, and just maybe you will find the “Troller” in you!
