ESCAPES
Small group travel experiences rooted in culture, connection, and place. Each journey is designed to help you experience a destination through its people, food, wine, and movement.
Groups are intentionally small to support depth, pacing, and genuine connection. What matters is how a place is experienced together, not how much is covered.

WHERE WE’VE BEEN
Past Trips: Sicily, May 2026
A Cultural Immersion.
Ten days moving through some of the most beautiful landscapes in the Mediterranean. We arrived in Palermo, settled into the rhythm of Sicilian life, and made our way through the vineyards of Menfi and the volcanic terrain surrounding Mount Etna before departing from Catania.
Meals were long. Wine was poured by the people who made it. Strangers became friends somewhere around day three.
Portugal
Lisbon, Porto, and the Douro Valley. Old city streets, river light, meals that went long into the night, and locals who made us feel like we belonged there.
Morocco
Marrakech, the Atlas Mountains, and the Sahara Desert. Color, spice, and the warmth of people who welcome you in even when you don't share a language.
Testimonials
-
"I was nervous about traveling with strangers. I am not a group-tour person. But the size of it made it feel like traveling with friends I just hadn't met yet. By the last dinner in Sicily I didn't want to leave any of them. That part I did not expect."
—Dana, 47, Portland

"I've traveled a lot. I know how to find a good hotel and the right restaurant. But this felt completely different. Antonina connected us with people who actually live there, in places that had nothing to do with tourism, and by day three something in me had quietly settled. I came home and couldn't stop talking about it."
—Lauryn, 42, Maine
