Why we do things the way we do them

Little America was founded on the same vision that inspired TravelEssence more than 20 years ago, when Andrew Morton set out to create more personal and meaningful ways to explore the world.

Born from a passion for the vast natural beauty, warm hospitality, and rich local cultures of North America, Little America focuses on small, authentic accommodation where hosts know their surroundings inside out and are happy to share their stories.

Our approach goes beyond sightseeing. We create journeys that foster a genuine connection with the places you visit and the people who call them home. This way, your trip through Canada and the United States becomes not just a visit, but a truly enriching experience.

Insider knowledge that transforms your trip

By working with small-scale local guides, hosts and partners, you’re able to tap into a wealth of insider knowledge, avoid unnecessary detours, and discover Canada and the USA from a fresh perspective. One that’s filled with spectacular landscapes, relaxed and comfortable stays, and truly memorable experiences.

When visiting countries this big, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, but with years of experience, expert knowledge and the sort of local information most people aren’t privy to, we can bring your dream North American adventure within easy reach. 

Our network is like a family, and our customers get very well looked after. From securing you the newest rental cars and SUVs, to welcoming hosts that go the extra mile on every stay, we’re able to shape your holiday into one that allows you to experience everything this spectacular, wild, and naturally stunning part of the world has to offer.
