About Lucusta Travel
Dedicated to making memories for you. . .
Teg & Jason | Stockholm, circa 2019
“We have seen some amazing places together as we travelled across 4 continents in 12 years, and we wanted to share these experiences with other people.
I love helping people to realise their travel dreams and there is nothing better than speaking to someone when they get home to hear all about their adventures.”
- Teg
“We have experienced many wonderful cultures, immersing ourselves in their traditions, history and cuisines. It is lovely to be able to help others stray from the beaten track and find their own unique experience.
We love to explore while travelling and getting outside our comfort zone. This is how we really experience a country or a location and find out what’s not in the guidebooks, good and bad. We can then use this to tailor our clients travel to their exact requirements to make their holidays truly unique”
- Jason
Jason | Marrakech, circa 2016
Hi, we’re Teg & Jason - your personal travel concierge
With a shared love of travel and planning their first holiday together with nothing more than an ipad and beer in hand, Teg and Jason spent 3 weeks ‘winging it’ as they toured the beautiful cultural wonders of Vietnam, they are your travel gurus!
Both Teg and Jason previously worked in the police force, when they independently realised, there was more to life – more travel, more love, more adventures, more life! Strangers at the time and unbeknown to each other, they met and had fallen in love – both with each other and travel.
Written in the stars – or perhaps written in all the travel brochures – Teg & Jason, were destined to be together…and for all you F.R.I.E.N.D.S. fans out there, you’ll know what we mean by saying ‘she’s his lobster’! Lobsters fall in love, hold claws, and mate for life. Teg & Jason are your matchmade in heaven and travel concierge.
The rest – as they say – is history.
Teg | St Lucia, circa 2017
From travelling to the middle-Eastern exotic lands of Morocco, the soft sandy beaches of The Caribbean, cultural experiences across Europe, The Far East and Australia and many more places, it’s safe to say that Teg and Jason know their travel!
Touring the world, Jason and Teg found their love for one another and married it with their tattoos:
• Teg - honouring the lobster connection
• Jason honouring Teg as his moral compass.
Tattoo’s at Squid Ink - the tattoo parlour on each of the Virgin Voyage ships -and is utterly unique in that it is the only tattoo parlour at sea!

‘People don’t take trips, trips take people’ - John Steinbeck
We travel as much and as widely as possible. Some are just holidays, some are familiarisation trips to explore new destinations or new resorts and we may even go on holidays we hadn’t thought of before! Do we do this for our enjoyment? Sure! But we also do it to enable us to offer you the benefit of knowledge and insights gained through experience to offer you the most rewarding travel experience we can – whatever that may mean to you.
