Welcome to the Explorers Club
by Oceans & Lands
A few years ago, if you'd asked me to go on a group trip I would have said, "no way". But the world works in mysterious ways and one day, I found myself running off to Europe with what initially was going to be five people, and it turned into 65 people. To my surprise, it completely changed my mind about what group travel could be.
I watched as friends and clients who'd never met each other, suddenly were toasting at the bar, or meeting up for dinner. They rearranged their plans for the next day so they could be together and they were tapping away on their cell phones adding one another to their contacts and Facebook friends list. At that moment, I realized that travel wasn't just about discovering a new destination, it was about making a connection to people as well. If you think about it, you're on the same trip, at the same time, excited about seeing the same destinations. You already have so much in common, with a little conversation, you suddenly realize you have a lot in common.
I was describing just the experience above to someone who had decided to join in on one of my group trips and I said, "it's like everyone started forming a little club", and out of that moment, I decided to give it a name. The Explorers Club.
If you've ever been along for one of our Oceans & Lands trips...consider yourself a member. The Explorers Club is the new name for the collection of group trips we offer up to friends, clients, and friends of clients. We seek exactly as the club logo says, "Uncommonly Grand Adventures", together. Welcome all Explorers!
