What we’re about
Welcome to a new way to travel! Our goal is to create amazing local connections and then to build on them through shared adventures together all over the world. We also offer trips locally in each city, regionally, and nationally.
Bottom line: We’re all about people. People are always better than not-people. We’re like bees. While we may occasionally get stung, we’re fundamentally social beings that need community.
Come join us and find out why we’re different.
- We like small groups with a maximum of 15 travelers, preferably 10. We want to get to know each other on a deeper level and make new friends. Larger groups in our experience don't allow for that.
- Each trip is lead by a trip leader available to you 24 hours a day throughout the trip. You'll also have a private guide most days in each location you visit.
- Nearly all of our trips are all-inclusive. That means airfare, lodging, all meals, all guided tours, admissions and events are included.
- Our focus goes beyond viewing architecture. We want to immerse ourselves in the culture by meeting local residents, eating in authentic restaurants, and experience all the excitement of hidden adventures.
- Each trip is a learning experience. Before departure, we hold a series of meetings to study the language, food, history, and culture of our destination. You'll have a deeper understanding of where and when you are when we travel together.
- We're all about community. We want to get to know our travel mates beyond the superficial. Most trips end with the participants forming an extended family. They stay together and and travel together.
- We offer a variety of activity levels. For the more adventurous we offer backpacking, biking, hiking, and scuba diving to exotic locations. For the more traditional traveler we offer trips focused on culture and experiences.
- Whenever possible we stay in a detached house or villa instead of a hotel room. Often we're able to include a private chef for breakfast and more. We also try to limit the number of moves during the trip. Packing is a headache!
- All our trips strive to give back to the local community in some way. For example, our Peru trip visits a local school and provides basic school supplies.
So come join the fun - let’s get to know each other!
