The Gulicks

A husband and wife team of 15 years, they met in 2007 in Texas and immediately started traveling. Frances had never left the country until she met Curtis and Curtis had only visited a handful of countries so together they built a life focused on seeing the world.

As they ventured to lesser-known countries, a common theme was prevalent - our world is under massive threat.

Armed with knowledge and first-hand experience, they began to cater their travels to areas under greatest threat as both a way to see it before it is gone forever and to bring awareness to these areas in hopes of enacting change.

In 2019, Chasing Extinction was born out of necessity. With so many people unaware of how damaging their daily choices can be, they set out to change the world through travel.

The oases of Tozeur! Mides, Tamaqzah, and Chebika are all the result of a flood in 1969, according to our local guide. The waterfall was such a nice bonus too! #midescanyon #tamaqzah #chebika #oasis #tunisia #waterfall #africa #wanderlust #africa #tr
Still not Rome or Greece! The El Jem colosseum is the best preserved in the world and very few people visit compared to Rome. You’re able to wander on the floor, visit the basement area, and have the entire place almost to yourself if you time
Have you ever wanted to visit Greece but not crazy about the amount of tourists? Put Tunisia on your bucket list. . Just two hours west of Tunis is the 17 century-old city of Dougga. Yes, you read that right. This ancient place dates back seventeen
After lunch at a phenomenal restaurant, @dareljeld, we headed to the Santorini of Africa, Sidi Bou Said! Gorgeous hilly area overlooking the coast with a white and blue color scheme, very similar to Greece. :) We tried a Tunisian donut too and both l
The morning of our first day in Tunisia was spent wandering around the ancient area of Carthage. Set in Tunis, this incredible historical site was filled with so many hidden treasures that date back a few centuries. I love the commitment to a view to
