The Face Behind The Blog
Hi, I’m Vaughn Scriven, the traveler behind Infinite Pathways Travel.
I created this space for people who want more than just a vacation. They want beautiful places, good food, culture, comfort, and memorable experiences — without spending like they own a private island. Because let’s be honest, luxury is nice, but bankruptcy is not the souvenir we’re looking for.
My focus is affordable luxury travel across the Caribbean and Latin America, with honest destination guides, practical travel tips, hotel ideas, cultural experiences, and trip inspiration for travelers who want value and style.
I’ve explored places like the Dominican Republic, Colombia, Panama, Cuba, Jamaica, and beyond, and I use my own travel experiences to help you plan smarter, avoid common mistakes, and get more from every trip.

Follow along for destination guides, travel stories, photography, planning tips, and inspiration for your next escape.

My Story
From Traveler to Travel Advisor
Why I Started Infinite Pathways Travel
I started Infinite Pathways Travel because I believe travel should feel possible, personal, and exciting — not confusing, overpriced, or reserved only for people with unlimited budgets.
After years of exploring different destinations, working in guest services, and helping people think through travel choices, I realized there was a real need for honest, practical travel guidance. Not fantasy travel. Not influencer nonsense. Real trips, real budgets, real experiences.
My focus is affordable luxury: trips that feel elevated, comfortable, and memorable while still making financial sense.

How I Got Started
My travel journey started with curiosity. I’ve always been drawn to places with history, culture, food, architecture, music, and everyday local life. Over time, travel became more than just going somewhere new — it became a way to learn, reset, connect, and see what life looks like beyond the familiar.
That eventually led me to blogging and travel advising. I wanted to create a space where travelers could get inspiration, practical advice, and trip ideas without feeling overwhelmed.
Why This Blog Exists
My Experience with Affordable Luxury Travel
I know what it means to want a beautiful trip without wasting money. Affordable luxury is not about being cheap — it is about being smart. It means choosing the right destination, knowing where to spend, where to save, and how to create a trip that feels elevated without being ridiculous.
That is the sweet spot Infinite Pathways Travel is built around.
Where Am I Now?
Today, I’m building Infinite Pathways Travel as both a travel blog and travel advisory brand focused on Caribbean and Latin American escapes. My goal is to help travelers plan better vacations, discover new destinations, and experience more of the world with confidence, comfort, and style.
