About us

If you visit many countries, as many ‘yourself’ will be created! Personally, I feel like I'm a mixture of dozens of countries, of hundreds of experiences, of thousands of faces.”

Traveling has shaped my character and my world view, plus I met my wife thanks to traveling, so I feel lucky every time we get to go somewhere.

“As a penguin, I never thought I’d be able to fly. Until I found my trampoline. My name comes from the Macaroni penguins, although I’m not sure what penguin species I am.”

Elinor was a French exchange student at Jake’s high school in Texas. They had a thing. Long story short, years later, she saw him on TV, and more years later, they reconnected at the right time for both.

It was love at second sight, and we got married in the Faroe Islands, Spain and Texas. Multicultural weddings, just like our lives!

We now call Spain home, and we’re united by an insatiable passion for exploring our amazing world.

After decades of hearing our friends and family beg us for a travel blog, Penguin Trampoline was finally born!

While acknowledging the inherent unsustainability of tourism, we firmly believe in the necessity of experiencing something to truly appreciate and respect it.

As seasoned writers, photographers, videographers and travelers, our approach seeks a delicate balance. Through our firsthand encounters, we present travel insights, captivating visuals and advice that consider both the visitors’ and locals’ perspectives.

Dive into our collection of travel articles, photos, videos, inspirational playlists and guidance crafted from our immersive adventures.

Bon voyage !

Why Penguin Trampoline?

One day, while folding a shirt with a penguin jumping on a trampoline on it, a bulb lit up.

We aim to serve as a trampoline for all the penguins of the world, helping them to spread their wings and reach new travel heights.

The penguin is also an ambassador of our threatened, and beloved polar regions.

And for the romantics: penguins give a stone as a gift to their other half.
