Welcome to Adventure Unknown
Where the right people keep finding each other
Adventure Unknown is a private club in St. Louis where ambitious people build meaningful relationships through shared experiences, work, travel, and community.
Entrepreneurs, executives, and driven professionals who want something more than networking events and online connections. A place where relationships develop naturally because the same people keep showing up.
The amenities are exceptional. The people are the real draw.

Founder Story
Why Scott and Johanna Built This
After losing his job during the recession with a newborn at home, Scott Schuessler rebuilt from scratch. A physical therapy clinic. Medicare audits. Real estate. Construction. Along the way, he and Johanna kept discovering the same truth: the people around you matter as much as the work you do.
A trip to Africa crystallized it. Shared experience builds real trust. You do not network your way to lasting relationships. You travel, struggle, celebrate, and show up for people until they know you.
Adventure Unknown opened its clubhouse in 2023 as the physical home for that belief. A curated community in St. Louis where driven people work, train, travel, and actually become friends.
Community & Culture
A Room Full of People Who Want the Best for You
The clubhouse works because the people inside it care about character, not status. The kind of support that makes hard seasons easier and good seasons better. Where else have you been where everyone is as excited about your success as they are for their own?
Deep Support
Members value depth over surface-level networking. Conversations turn into friendships, referrals, partnerships, and support.
Character First
The common thread is not age, industry, or title. It is how people treat each other when they are in the room.
Shared Momentum
Work, wellness, events, and travel all create natural ways for members to grow together instead of doing life alone.
The only real deal-breaker is being a jerk to good people.
Adventure Awaits
From Trips to Friendships
Some of the strongest relationships in the club are built while exploring the world together. By keeping our groups small, typically 8 to 20 guests, each trip feels more like traveling with friends than joining a tour.
Every journey is thoughtfully planned by Johanna Schuessler, a licensed travel advisor and founder of Travel Tribe, working alongside trusted local experts worldwide. Members enjoy first access and exclusive rates on club travel experiences.
What Membership Includes
One membership. Everything under one roof.

What members say
Being a part of AU for me is so much more than any trip or clubhouse. It's about the sense of community, friendship, and support for people who are all highly driven individuals looking to further their overall business or career. And what puts the icing on the cake is being able to do that with an amazing exclusive clubhouse facility where you can combine work and social life, all in ONE.
Adventure Unknown has been one of the best investments for our businesses and personal lives. We work and live to travel and socialize and an added bonus is the incredible people we have met so far. It's difficult to find a place to relax and catch up on work without all the distractions of home, a restaurant, or the office.
Adventure Unknown Clubhouse has been an incredible find for me. It's not just a workspace; it's a place where work blends with a growing social scene. It's a place where relationships naturally develop, both professionally and socially. Adventure Unknown has exceeded my expectations, offering a perfect blend of work and social life.
