Hi, I’m Brandon Thomas, co-creator of International Access.

I started this project because I wanted to create a space where people could experience the world thoughtfully — approaching new places and cultures with curiosity, care, and attention. Having lived in the United States, China, Mexico, and Colombia, and traveled to many corners of the world, I’ve learned that how we show up matters just as much as where we go. Being invited back, welcomed, and respected,that is the true mark of meaningful travel.

International Access exists to bring this approach to life through small, intentional gatherings and shared experiences, we create opportunities for people to engage with culture thoughtfully, slowly, and with human connection at the center.

What We Do

• Gatherings & Meetups
  Small, intentional groups focused on conversation, curiosity, and presence.

• Micro-Explorations
  Experiences designed to invite reflection, attention, and connection.

• Shared Stories
  Moments for conversation and dialogue that deepen understanding and perspective.

• Small & Thoughtful
  Experiences designed to be intimate, unhurried, and meaningful.

Who This Is For

This is for curious people who enjoy thoughtful conversation, connection, and learning through presence. For those who value small, intentional experiences and meaningful engagement over checklists or crowds.

Why It Matters

At International Access, culture isn’t something to “consume,” it’s something to enter with care, attention, and respect. Every meetup, every exploration, is an opportunity to connect with others, notice the world, and have an absolutely amazing time.
