Perhaps the important word in travel is expectations. Everybody has their own. They should always surpassed or where is the exhilaration? How can it be a really great trip? A good advisor gets very clear on your intentions and then uses them as a springboard to go beyond the anticipated. Identifying what you really want from your journey is essential, but it's only the start.
Philosopher Martin Buber said, “All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware.”
KEYS:
1. A great welcome. From the moment you arrive the path is clear. Doors open. You feel at least somewhat oriented. How else can you have the freedom to open up and enjoy new surroundings fully?
2. Personal contacts. The kind that last. Now that you've reached your destination, taking it all in requires a knowing eye. From teeming city to remote wilderness, local expertise is golden. While there's nothing like a great professional guide, the highest form of "insider information" is actually a two-way street and the result is lasting friendship.
All around the world there are people who share your specific interests, hobbies, pursuits of every imaginable type. They bring a whole new dimension to your trip and they're just waiting to meet you in the most far-flung places imaginable.
3. Interactive experience. How much more memorable and rewarding is it to participate rather than just observe?
We know sometimes you just want to escape to a great resort, and we can put you in the best on the planet - at the best price - but we great trip is about genuine connection with people and place. The two do not have to be mutually exclusive! Example: Brando, the innovative new off-the-grid luxury resort in French Polynesia, or a small ship luxury cruise by Seabourn or Paul Gauguin.
