How is Here Travel different?

add_circle_outline remove_circle_outline

When we travel, we create an environment where travelers feel like guests and friends, rather than tourists. We connect with locals to learn and appreciate our differences, while acknowledging subtle ways we are interconnected. We honor and support the many partners who impact their communities, and share their stories.

From natural dying workshops, and fashion studios, to sharing meals with exciting restauranteurs, and visiting small boutique hotels, we'll have every detail organized thoughtfully with locals in mind.

NATURE

When selecting a destination, we embrace the landscape in our itineraries. Mountains? Let's hike. City? Let's find the side streets. Ocean? Swim, surf, catamaran, of course. Movement oriented activities allow our guests to fully participate in and appreciate the local geography.

CULTURE + ARTS

We work with fashion designers who value sustainability, makers who positively impact their communities, and artisans who celebrate ancient traditions. Guests will have intimate experiences with amazing people who are preserving culture and pioneering local commerce.

FOOD + AGRICULTURE

Sharing of meals is the most ancient form of bonding. Food is the common bond that connects us all. Food and agriculture are fundamental components of the architecture of each itinerary. We work with local farmers, chefs, and sommeliers, to help us to appreciate each meal, and where it comes from.

OUR COMMITMENT TO TRAVEL

Our commitment to travel was founded on a deep reverence for understanding human beings, past and present. Our trips are driven by three fundamental questions. How did we come to develop our social and cultural behaviors in relationship to our natural environment? How do our stories connect us? How can I be of service to our collective evolution?

As Travelers & Guests,

We honor traditions and respect differences. We visit places and communities with curiosity, openness, and respect. We tread lightly, listen fully, and ask questions.

Join us to experience a new way of travel -- where you will discover what it means to be immersed in our world community while you deepen your relationship with yourself.

We are Carbon Neutral!

We have partnered with Trees for the Future to plant 50 trees for every traveler that joins us on a Here Travel trip. Through planting these trees, we offset the carbon emmissions created by your travels.

I am traveling alone. What are my options for a room

add_circle_outline remove_circle_outline

You have two options. You may pay extra for a single room by yourself. You will still be a part of everything and we will respect your need for privacy or time alone. We do not guarantee that single rooms will available on every itinerary. Or you may request us to match you with a room-mate. We have had great success in matching women. We will ask you some questions about your habits and make a match. A good room-mate can be a big part of the fun-factor of your trip. Our hostesses are sensitive to making sure these matches work out. Some of our previous matches have become fast friends. We want to keep the night owls together. And you high maintenance gals don’t make good matches when you have to share a mirror.

How old can a You Go Girl be?

Being a GO GIRL is a state of mind. There is no limit to how high or how far you can soar. So far our oldest is 81 and she can walk circles around any of the younger women. She doesn’t slow anyone down.

How do I know how much to tip?
