Travel, Food & Drink Experiences Worth Planning Around

Hi, we’re Lora & Matt 👋

We’re the creators behind Grecobon—a travel, food, and drink platform built around one simple idea: helping you find experiences that are actually worth your time.

From quick weekend getaways to international adventures, we’re always chasing great meals, memorable drinks, and destinations that deliver more than just a pretty photo.

What You’ll Find Here

On Grecobon, you’ll find:

Travel inspiration across the U.S. and beyond
Honest food and drink recommendations
Road trip ideas (especially the kind you can do with dogs 🐾)
Real experiences—the highlights, the hiccups, and everything in between

We focus on places we’ve actually been, so everything you see here comes from firsthand experience—not just a list pulled from Google.

Our Story

Together, we’ve explored nearly 40 states and traveled to Australia, Ireland, England, France, and Mexico—with plenty more on our list.

Some of our favorite trips aren’t the big international ones—they’re the spontaneous road trips, the small towns, the random stops that turn into unforgettable finds.

And more often than not, we’re not traveling alone…

Meet the Real MVPs 🐾

Rudy (11) and Fritz (9) are our road trip companions and unofficial taste-testers.

They’ve joined us on countless adventures and are a big part of why we love finding dog-friendly destinations, stops, and experiences along the way.

Along with our beloved Sir Winston J, who departed this world in April of 2026.

Why We Started Grecobon

We didn’t start with travel—we started in the kitchen.

Who’s Hungry?

Grecobon began as a way for us to explore recipes from around the world and experience different cultures through food. What started as cooking dishes from other countries quickly turned into something more—wanting to experience those places firsthand.

Matt, a former light beer drinker, came to the crafty side of things after Lora lead the way introducing him to his first IPA. He was hooked. Since then he’s tried over 3,000 unique beers in just about every style there is.

Drink with Us

Before long, the recipes turned into trips, and the trips turned into a passion for discovering destinations, food, and drinks in a more immersive way.
