THE STORY

The Matrix-Q Travel Club is the initiative of our founder, Luis Daniel Maldonado Fonken, as he spends several years living abroad and traveling, organizing private expeditions, research, and providing services as a consultant, coach, also supporting organizations and entrepreneurs with his services.

Luis has been living abroad and traveling since 1996/7, also at a young age (3-4) lived in Austria, and while living in Peru he constantly moved between locations. Luis has the heart of a traveler.

Between 1997-2003, his travel destinations will include Europe and SouthAmerika Southern Pacific Coast. He grounded the first travelers club in 1999, the Travelers-Culture International Association, an NGO dedicated to bringing together world citizens and engaging together in positive impact projects. 

We organized gatherings, events, volunteer programs and a radio program " Travelers on air"

The association got dormant in 2003 when he moved back to Europe, Switzerland, but the club did not. The Lifestyle Travelers club continued, in connection to a private stream of the "Travelers on air" radio, digital audio files shared with a circle of travelers still connected to Luis. 

In 2012 Luis was back on the road for long and decided to recruit assistants to work together in a business and travel project he had. The recruiting program brought him back to meet a number of lifestyle travelers and decided together to re-launch the travel club again. More than 260 lifestyle travelers tried to do the impossible, to coordinate efforts to make a living while living abroad traveling. 1.5 years after the project got discontinued, due to the need for a system that would bring business, travel, adventure, culture, and leisure together.

Between 2013-2016 Luis did organize a number of multidisciplinary archeology expeditions, some days, and others for months, in both Europe and Russia.

The Lifestyle Travelers Club now become a division of the Matrix-Q Ecosystem, a system that supports travel-preneurs: entrepreneurs that live abroad traveling and are dedicated to creating a positive impact.

We also organize travel expeditions and leisure, travel and culture programs.
