Welcome to Cawuhao, where trailblazers, explorers, and creative thinkers converge to inspire, design, and guide the modern traveler. Based in the tight-knit community of Soper, Oklahoma, we’re more than just a platform for wanderer highlights and expertly packed kits—we are a community that crafts journeys infused with cultural depth, spontaneous energy, and practical wisdom drawn from the road. And now, we’re opening new pathways for curious individuals ready to grow with us.
At Cawuhao, we’ve redefined what it means to work in travel. Join us not just to build a career, but to pursue a calling: helping others discover the world through insight, intention, and inspired preparation. From crafting expertly structured destination plans to developing systems that simplify on-the-fly gear lists, every Cawuhao role plays a part in how people move across—and within—this breathtaking planet.
Our Mission, Guided by Curiosity
Our mission is simple: empower travelers with useful, beautifully curated travel concepts, help them prepare with wisdom, and connect them more deeply with the cultures they encounter. At the heart of our company is an understanding that travel is more than a place—it’s a mindset, a method, and a moment of transformation. With our steady hand behind every route, bundle, and article, we aim to ease the overwhelming and elevate the experience.
Whether it’s a cultural trek through the Highlands or a weekend hike into red-dirt canyons, our goal remains the same: help wanderers move smarter and feel more deeply connected to where they go. We offer stories and skills with authenticity, practicality, and generosity—and we’re always in motion, just like our readers.

Professional Paths to Explore
Cawuhao offers multiple avenues for meaningful contribution. We value both the generalist explorer and the niche master—because thriving journeys require both navigators and mapmakers.
1. Editorial and Storytelling
Our editorial team transcribes human experience into guidance. Writers here craft deep cultural trekking insights, publish destination walkthroughs, and curate experience-based tips for every ranging season and backpack size. Storytellers blend clarity with narrative, ensuring that readers not only learn how to hike light—but remember the taste of steam buns in Hunan or the hush of dawn in the Ozarks.
From daily field guides to deep-dive features, these content creators work side by side with our research and design departments to deliver consistent, voice-rich guidance for wherever travel takes our readers.
2. Visual Design and Pack-Aesthetic Strategy
Aesthetics matter when telling stories about the vast unknown. Our visual team renders maps, designs gear checklists, and creates visual systems that bring our concepts to life. Whether designing minimalist layouts for mobile devices or energizing infographics on trail nutrients, our creative minds make the invisible visible—and the complicated, actionable.
With a strong emphasis on accessibility, clarity, and beauty, Cawuhao’s designers ensure our travel content looks and feels like the journey it represents: unburdened, inspired, and grounded.
3. Travel Logistics and Practical Research
Our research team does more than just look up facts; they test hypotheses on the trail. What’s the weight threshold a hiking pack can hold before affecting posture during a 12-mile trek? How do common fabrics respond in climates dominated by humidity? Which border crossings have shifted hours this season?
Cawuhao’s logistics arm works hand-in-hand with our editorial and packing divisions to study trail science, track seasonal shifts, and connect cultural learnings with practical movement. If you love the cadence of field studies and the satisfaction of simplifying complex data, your work will thrive here.
4. Digital Experience and WanderTech
Technology is central to how our readers access, save, and use travel insights in the moments they need them. Our developers and digital strategists build the backbone for seamless off-grid mode experiences, map-integrated articles, and mobile-first packing planners. These tools help users chart their course with confidence—even when Wi-Fi disappears into the mountain mist.
Our tech stack is intentionally lean and durable, optimized for international use, and rooted in the user’s state of mind: calm, quick-thinking, and curious.
Work from Wherever
Although our headquarters is located at 1990 Grove Avenue in the welcoming town of Soper, Oklahoma, our opportunities aren’t static. We offer optional hybrid arrangements across the U.S. and are continually expanding remote work pathways for talent around the world.
Our distributed team reflects the travelers we serve—mobile, adaptive, and rooted by shared purpose more than geography. As long as you bring curiosity and commitment, your starting location matters less than your vision for where we’re all headed.
Our Founder: Rooted in Road
Kelros Quenthos founded Cawuhao after a lifetime of intentional roaming. From motorbike routes in Vietnam to backcountry hikes through Utah’s slot canyons, Kelros transformed his personal wanderlust into an organized platform that serves thousands of mindful movers each year. His belief: the journey is not about escape—it’s about engagement, preparation, and presence. His original handwritten pack lists continue to inform how we teach “less to carry, more to receive.”
The leadership style at Cawuhao, shaped by Kelros’ travels, treasures openness and integrity. Every member of this team is encouraged to make meaningful contributions that support our mission—one humble trek, one shared hack at a time.
Local Perspective Meets Global Reach
While we’re proudly anchored in Oklahoma, our work reflects an understanding of cultures across six continents. From Appalachian rail-trail mapping to insight stories about the ritual rhythms of the Nepalese Himalayas, our team grounds their contributions in both source and significance.
At the same time, we remain deeply aware of the unique climate, travel culture, and regional priorities that shape our Oklahoma roots. We champion road trip culture, trail preservation in the Arbuckles, and the kind of quiet adventure that defines much of the American Midwest. Here, stillness coexists with spirit—and our team reflects that balance in every field-tested article and gear review.
Diversity and Saturated Inclusion
Cawuhao believes deeply in what we call “saturated inclusion”—not just representation, but the active weaving of diverse perspectives into the core of what we do. Our team includes explorers of every race, orientation, background, and mobility level, sharing stories that reflect the full spectrum of modern traveling experience.
We prioritize equitable hiring, open mentorship, and accessible collaboration tools to ensure that everyone can contribute powerfully, no matter where or who they are. Our mission depends on reflecting the global world we seek to serve—and we embrace that with clarity and joy.
