A&L Travel Media is a boutique publishing house and the creative partnership of husband-and-wife team Adam and Lauren Ringhof. Our partnership is dedicated to the art of discovery. Founded on the belief that travel is the ultimate bridge to human connection, we specialize in storytelling that blends authentic exploration with world-class visual artistry. Our mission is simple: to document what matters and inspire a new generation to explore the world.
Team Behind the Journey
The hallmark of A&L Travel Media is a commitment to narrative integrity. That standard comes from its founders, whose backgrounds in high‑stakes, detail‑driven work shaped a disciplined way of seeing the world — one that filters out noise and focuses on what is genuinely relevant to travelers.
• Adam brings a unique background to travel writing, shaped by a thirty-year career as an FBI Special Agent, Navy Intelligence Officer, and Congressional Affairs advisor at the Department of Defense. His years in national security developed an instinct for finding the "story beneath the surface," allowing him to blend history, culture, and authenticity into narratives that resonate with readers of all ages.
• Lauren is the visual soul of the partnership. With nearly twenty years as a professional photographer—including serving as the photographer for the Director of the FBI—Lauren has documented the Bureau's defining historical moments in Washington, D.C., and on Capitol Hill. Her ability to capture the essence of a moment is the foundation of our work, bringing every destination to life with artistry and meaning.
Inspiring the Next Generation
We believe travel is one of the most meaningful experiences a person can have, fostering curiosity and a deeper connection to the world around us. Our flagship children's book, Pierre the Parrot’s Guide to Paris, is the first in a collection of books designed to introduce young readers to the landmarks, history, and priceless memories found through travel. Every story and every image is derived from our own travel and observations. Through a blend of thoughtful prose and vibrant imagery, we are dedicated to creating travel media that is both beautiful and lasting—the kind of souvenirs that live on in the mind long after the journey ends.
