What we’re about
Welcome to Sunday Vacations (www.sundayvacations.com) – Your Community of Explorers!
At Sunday Vacations, we bring together travel enthusiasts, adventure seekers, and curious minds to embark on unforgettable journeys - both near and far. Our mission is to foster a vibrant, inclusive community built on connection, cultural exchange, and shared experiences.
We organize carefully curated trips, helping you discover hidden gems and unique experiences internationaly and right in our own backyard. Whether it's a hike, a local festival, or a day trip across the border, our adventures are designed to spark curiosity, joy, and friendships.
We embrace the wisdom of the Chinese proverb:

“At home, depend on your parents; away from home, rely on your friends.”
This group is your home away from home - a place to find support, guidance, and camaraderie while navigating life abroad. Whether you’re here for work, study, or just exploring, we welcome you to join our journey.
Our Mission
Sunday Vacations is an initiative of Ujamaa ASBL, a nonprofit organization registered in Belgium.
Through our trips, we aim to build a strong, welcoming community while also contributing to positive social impact.
In the long term, we want our activities to help fund creative, youth-led tourism initiatives in underrepresented regions - such as young storytellers and guides working to promote their local areas in authentic and inspiring ways.
By traveling together, we believe we can do more than just explore - we can help amplify new voices, create lasting connections, and foster a more meaningful kind of adventure.
