Hello Dear Readers. How have you been? Staying safe? I pray that this reaches you in amazing spirits and that you have been enjoying life to the fullest. I’m taking a quick moment to talk about an epiphany that crossed my mind recently.
In my household, the Mrs. does most of the planning for our trips. Thailand, Italy, France…she planned it all. I can recall the nights she stayed up late researching the best places to visit, both on and off the beaten path. In short, the effort it takes to plan a trip is not insignificant. Some of you can definitely relate, amirite? My insight into the effort it takes to plan a GOOD trip makes my appreciation for our trip to Africa…and more specifically, Travel Deeper Inc. that much more meaningful.
Think about it. Over fifty people, all traveling from different parts of the states, had to be accommodated. This included: Airfare, Transportation, Security, Lodgings, Activities, and most importantly, FOOD, for 50+ people over the course of over fourteen days! I’m not even gonna lie y’all. If this was up to ME?! Maaan listen…I can plan a trip for a family…but 50 people?! The anxiety alone would have me paralyzed.
Thanks to Travel Deeper Inc. the anxiety-less trip went off without a hitch. We flew from NY to Paris…Paris to Abidjan…Abidjan to Senegal…Senegal back to NY. No complaints, no problem, all smiles. Every day was an adventure, eventful…but more importantly UNEVENTFUL from an “issues” perspective. If you travel often, or not, there is invariably some kind of unexpected/planned issue that rears it’s annoying head. For us, and this trip, there were NONE. The accommodations were top notch, every meal was delicious (if you know me, you know that food was/is a top priority for me), we travelled to locales, in both countries, that were on and off the beaten path. There was smiles, tears, laughs, singing, dancing and awe inspiring stories and scenery. We were treated like royalty. And our tour guides? Well, let’s just say we felt like long lost family who just came home. We didn’t FEEL like tourists. Not sure I can pay a higher compliment than that. 🥰
So, what does the Travel Deeper Inc. mean for you? Well, you’ll have to reach out to them for an expertly crafted trip. 😏 For us, it was a bespoke experience that completely eliminated the headaches associated with less than elite planning. Our curated trip for 50 felt like a trip for 2. It went so well, actually, that it inspired this blog: My attempt to capture the “experience” through words, pictures and videos. I’m sure this trip would not have been as life changing as it was if they were not involved in the planning.
I can’t wait to return and experience the adventures that the next trip is sure to bring!
