who we are

We curate the moments that make traveling worth it

Saudade Travel was founded to create journeys that go beyond the typical itinerary—experiences that are intentional, immersive, and deeply personal. Travel has shaped who we are, and we want to share that kind of transformation with others.


Saudade is a Portuguese word that describes a complex, bittersweet emotional state of melancholic longing, nostalgia, or wistful yearning for a person, place, or experience that is absent, often carrying a deep love and affection for what is missed. This feeling of beauty, longing, and nostalgia is exactly what we aim to capture in every trip we design.

founded on the idea with travel as a means of expansion and connection. we curate experiences that bring you closer to the world around you.

Our Team

Cade Sandager, founder

I created Saudade Travel to share my passion for meaningful travel. My journey began with a love for exploring the ocean and discovering off the beaten path places that feel like they have a story to tell.

With over a decade of experience in the bespoke luxury service industry, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for refinement, detail, and elevated service. That background allows me to craft trips that balance adventure with sophistication.

Saudade Travel is about crafting experiences that go beyond the typical trip – journeys that are immersive, enriching, and inspiring. My goal is to help you uncover the soul of each destination. Let’s work together to create your next unforgettable adventure.
