George Butterfield was in law school when he first figured out how to turn his hobby—travel—into a business. Broke and wanting to go to Europe, he and his wife, Martha, and her brother Sidney Robinson put together a package tour of the continent, pitched it to everyone they knew, and managed to find 40 students to take a "grand tour." That was 1966, and Butterfield & Robinson was born.

The Interview: Erik Blachford, Butterfield & Robinson
I first met Erik Blachford at a dinner in Whistler a couple of years ago, when we got into an extended discussion about the merits of the Burning Man Project. He is a devoted attendee while the jury is till out as far as I'm concerned. No matter, Erik is not the type one might think of when one thinks of the desert free-for-all called Burning Man. He's currently the Chairman and CEO of Butterfield & Robinson, the pioneer of upscale biking and walking vacations, as well as Chairman of Terrapass, Inc. He was formerly president and CEO of Expedia and CEO of IAC/InterActiveCorp's travel division. Very early in his career, Erik spent several years guiding and developing trips in Western and Eastern Europe for Butterfield & Robinson, as well as managing the company's student travel division.
