If you want to go far, go together."

The Friesen Family
We've chosen to go together; but, in a thoughtful, curated kind of way. We work to find places that make a trip special. Our lives, and the lives of our fellow travelers are very busy, so time is the ultimate luxury.
We don't try to “entertain” our guests, we work to enrich and simplify their lives. Maybe it's that just right coffee shop in a bookstore, a nice cafe off the main street with outside seating, or a hike that inspires more than impresses. Those are some of the things we look for in life ... and in travel.
We have been leading trips for over 25 years. During that time, we have led over 90 trips for 2100+ travelers, pilgrims, and missionaries all over the globe.
Instead of testing our travel experiences on you, we practiced them on our kids first. We have taken them all across Europe more times than we can count (Harvey has relatives that live there), as as Africa, Mexico, the Caribbean, the Middle East, and North America (a lot), Colorado (lots and lots), and Hawaii.
South Africa, Ireland and Italy are some of our family favorites.
