The Martins

We’ve been in business together for over 15 years — partners in life, love and adventure. From running our restaurant and brewery to building our yoga businesses, our shared passion for people, travel and meaningful experiences has always guided everything we do.

Over the years, we have explored some truly incredible places and hosted yoga and meditation retreats both locally and internationally, collaborating with amazing spaces and soulful communities around the world.

After selling our restaurant, stepping into the travel industry felt like the most natural evolution of our journey. With Ashley Michelle now a proud TICO-registered Travel Advisor, we are thrilled to introduce Martin Heart Travel — a heartfelt extension of our love for connection, exploration and mindful adventure.

🌎 A Few of Our Favorite Places

Our travels have taken us far and wide — and each destination holds a story.

• Costa Rica is our absolute favorite — we go often and are endlessly inspired by its pura vida spirit.
• New York City and Las Vegas fuel our love of food and entertainment (NYC also makes for an amazing family trip!).
• San Francisco had us walking miles each day — our favorite way to explore any new city.
• We’ve been to Florida and Disney more than a few times, with Universal Studios next on our family bucket list.
• We’ve soaked up the sun on countless all-inclusive getaways across Cuba, the Dominican Republic and Mexico, and Ashley Michelle has cruised to Puerto Rico, Saint Lucia and Saint-Martin with a re-visit to Saint-Martin at the end of 2025 coming up
• We’ve also hosted beautiful Yoga & Meditation Retreats in Belize, blending travel, community and soul work.

Most recently, we finished an unforgettable Mindful Adventure in Thailand, followed by our self-curated honeymoon through Spain, Portugal and the Canary Islands — and we are heading back there again in 2026 with a Yoga Retreat group!

🌍 The Adventures Ahead

We’ve hiked the Azores, wandered through the streets of London, Englandand are soon heading off on National Geographic Safari in South Africa, followed by a National Geographic Journey through Nepal in 2026. Then in 2027, you can join us in Vietnam (National Geographic) and sail through the Greek Islands on a private boat — both open for bookings soon!

Wherever the path leads, we are here to share our travel knowledge, experience and passion for mindful adventure. We can’t wait to help you plan your next unforgettable journey.

✨ Travel with an open heart — and you will come to understand the nature of everything.
