Co-founder and a travel designer
Erynn Montgomery is a born adventurer. Her early career took her deep into the heart of South America, where she served as the CEO and President of an international humanitarian organization. This profound, immersive chapter granted her depth of understanding and enduring connection with the continent’s diverse cultures, local communities, and hidden corners.
When she and John married, they officially began dog-earing their passports together. In 2006, the couple founded LANDED, a full-service travel company specializing in customized, privately guided vacations in South America, Central America, and the Antarctic.
Even with the arrival of their four daughters, the journeys haven’t slowed. Erynn has created original vacations for some of the top names in business, entertainment, and fashion. Her joy is helping families find greater connection through travel, making the most of their most precious resource—free time with those they love.
