Are You Ready?
Standing at the top of a 12,000-foot Himalayan pass in the Kingdom of Bhutan, I hiked with a few friends to get to a remote village on the other side of the mountain. I stopped to catch my breath, take in the view, and once again thank God for a world overflowing with love, beauty, compassion, and wonder.
As we bring 2023 to a close, we stand in amazement at the last 24 years of Wonder Voyage. Our journey has taken us around the world, and we’ve discovered wonder in abundance through the people and the places we’ve encountered every step of the way.
Here are a few notes to consider as we head into 2024.
- Only three spots are open for summer trips! Contact the office as soon as possible if you’re interested.
- We added some exciting new trips this year, including a Mexico Voyage to see the Monarch Butterfly migration, Colombia in South America, a nature trip in Upstate New York, the charming Texas Hill Country, Thailand, the mysterious Kingdom of Bhutan, Hawaii, Anchorage Alaska, a Civil Rights Journey in Alabama, and the hidden gems of Rhode Island.
- If you’re traveling next summer, now is the ideal time to book team plane tickets and double-check that your passports are in order.
- Look for a year of surprises as we move into 25 years of Wonder Voyage!
We hope you soak in your downtime with your family and friends these next few weeks. The love of our families and friends determines the richness of our world. May your world overflow with the richness of love.
Happy Holidays!
