We met late in life, brought together by an extraordinary tennis coach, and quickly discovered a shared passion, not only for the game but also for meaningful, adventurous travel. Over time, the seed of an idea began to take root. What if we could combine our love for tennis with our desire to explore the world? What if we sought out stunning destinations with unique courts that were open for guest play? What if we told their stories and shared them with others who feel the same pull? We dreamed, we talked and, eventually, we set off.
