Experiential Travel
What do we mean by 'experiential' travel? We mean immersive, adventurous and authentic. A journey that gets you beneath the skin of a culture to experience life as a local.
That could mean thrifting with a fashion designer in Milan or dining with a food blogger in Cape Town. In a work hard, play hard world, we design trips that challenge your perspective to encourage you to rethink your relationship with people and places. In a nutshell, it's personal.
Travel is by its very nature 'experiential' but many of us now seek experiences that connect us to cultures and people in a more meaningful and enriching way. If you find yourself hankering for a more fulfilling travel experience, one that reinforces the things that make life worth living and is aligned to your personal values, you're not alone.
An experiential trip can take many forms, from a conservation safari in South Africa that sees you tagging endangered black rhino in the company of specialist rangers to the simple pleasure of stomping grapes during the harvest season in Tuscany. Find inner calm amid the tranquility of a Himalayan spiritual retreat; saddle up with gauchos in Argentina; or explore your own 'back yard' in one of North America's incredible national parks.
