Traveler stories
Trips people still talk about.
Maya planned our Portugal honeymoon down to the last pastel de nata. Every hotel was better than the photos, and the sunset sail in Lisbon was pure magic.
Twelve of us, one incredible guide and the Torres at sunrise. I booked solo and came home with eleven new friends. Already planning Japan with Wayfarer.
When a volcano closed the airport, our expert had us rebooked and in a gorgeous hotel before we had even finished breakfast. That is what you pay for.
