Travel early and travel often. Live abroad, if you can. Understand cultures other than your own. As your understanding of other cultures increases, your understanding of yourself and your own culture will increase exponentially. ~Tom Freston

All One!
For the last decade, no matter what’s happening in the world or in our lives, Kim and I have gotten to travel for six weeks each summer. We guide trips, we scout for new trips, we take vacation, we enjoy each other’s company. Alas, because 2020, our plans were put on indefinite hiatus. (I wonder if even Superman would be able to stop 2020 at this point...)
“During this trip I was able to open up and experience real joy.”
“During this trip I was able to open up and experience real joy. They took such good care of us. They were always available, such special people. I never felt rushed. I learned that I am a wonderful person full of creativity and love. Thank you is not enough when you have changed my life forever.”
Karen, Tuscany Dreams 2016
“My favorite part of these trips are the group activities where we go into our inner selves.”
“Alchemy Adventures provides transformational experiences. They intertwine activities in nature with cultural experiences and personal growth workshops. By experiencing the inner and outer realms you can’t help but grow and learn so much about yourself.”
“We are already planning the next trip!”
“When we got home from our parent trip to Tuscany with Alchemy Adventures, we told all of our friends and family that the trip scored an 11 out of 10!! Everything you could possibly want from a vacation was thoughtfully incorporated into this trip: hiking and sightseeing, breathtaking landscapes and stunning views, architecture and art, authentic Tuscan wining and dining, (especially the wine part!), stopping and shopping, laughing and relaxing – all with a small group of unique yet simpatico fellow travelers.”
“I am forever changed by this 8 day, seemed like a solid month, adventure!”
I feel so blessed to have gone on that adventure. It put me right where I need to be.
