Client Testimonials:
"I was able to connect with a group of strong, amazing women, and value the friendships I made as we supported each other through the journey."
-Lisa, Machu Picchu Women's Retreat 2024
"Dominica is a rare, unspoiled, authentic destination where you can interact with the local people and the environment without friction. You'll feel integrated into island life in a way I don't think is possible in other destinations any longer. Experience it while it lasts!"
-Noelle, Dominica 2024
"I have joyfully found a travel company that aligns with my personal beliefs, needs and expectations! Women owned and women led; environmental and responsible tourism; financially supportive through “giving back” to the communities we visit (and who share their time and talent with us); and expertly planned, coordinated and led for a maximum educational and cultural experience at a reasonable price."
-Jennifer, France 2024
"My trip to France was my fourth trip with Traverse Journeys, and won't be my last. Not only was I traveling with an awesome group of people, we visited an area of France that really called to me. The history and landscape of Toulouse and southwest France is such an amazing experience."
-Liz, France 2024
"Loved the trip. Good balance of free time and scheduled activities. The facility was fantastic. The waterfall hike and community farm tour were my trip highlights. This will certainly not be my last Traverse trip!"
-Nick, Guatemala Retreat 2024
"What truly surprised me, in the best possible way, was how kind and welcoming the people of Jordan were. I had some apprehensions about traveling solo in the Middle East, but Jordan shattered all my preconceived notions. I felt safe and embraced by the local community throughout my journey - and especially by our amazing tour guide!"
-Lora, Jordan 2022
