A little bit more about us...

Hey there! We’re Rafi and Dani—a married couple from New York City who turned our love for spontaneous weekend escapes into a full-on passion for exploring the world together. Over the past 10 years, our travel style has grown from local road trips to unforgettable international adventures that continue to shape how we see the world—and each other.

From the moment we first met, we dreamed about seeing the world. It’s something we’ve always spoken about with passion, and now we’re turning that dream into reality—one trip at a time.

After countless hours spent scrolling travel vlogs and social media, only to still feel unsure about where to go or what was actually worth our time and money, we realized there was a gap—and we wanted to fill it. That’s how Chewy Reviews was born: a space where real stories meet real reviews, curated by two people who genuinely love helping others make the most of every trip.

Here’s the thing—we’re unbiased. We purchase all of our vacations, stays, and experiences out of our own pockets, and we always travel with a budget in mind. No sponsorships, no freebies—just honest, real-world experiences. As millennials, we know how important it is to make smart choices with both time and money, so we’re here to share the tips, tricks, and strategies we use to travel well without breaking the bank.

At Chewy Reviews, we go beyond the surface. We dig into the details—whether we're reviewing the travel companies we've booked, sharing the gear that made our trips smoother, or offering honest breakdowns of destinations and experiences from a couple’s perspective. Our goal? To help fellow couples, young explorers, and travel-curious souls plan adventures that are exciting, meaningful, and totally worth it.

And while it’s usually just the two of us jetting off, we’re sometimes joined by our fluffy four-legged co-pilot, Chewy—so keep an eye out for pet-friendly finds along the way!

We’re so glad you’re here—let’s plan your next great escape, together.
