You Know How …

Destination travel can feel like a rushed, cramped affair. Everything crammed into 5 days leaving you tired and frustrated. You want off-the-beaten-path experiences. But they want you to rough it in the wild with backpacking and subpar accommodation.

You wish you had an exclusive travel experience tailored just for you. Where you can let go, have fun, and just enjoy being in nature. After all – you didn’t travel to only see the walls of your accommodation. Where the only thing you need to worry about is booking your ticket and making sure you don’t miss the flight to the destination of a lifetime.

Welcome to the new age of exclusive travel

Where your destination is more than a place – it’s an experience only a fun-loving globetrotter like you can truly appreciate. Iceland tops most bucket lists. You can experience Iceland unlike any other shared travel in less than a year:

  • Curated itinerary to authentically engage with locals
  • Small group size for a more personalized experience 
  • Access to group leaders for the trip (yup, your voice is always heard)
  • Majestic, magical landscapes (and no, it’s not ice only)
  • Unique history seen and told through local eyes

    I wasn’t able to go on one of TML’s ‘off the beaten path’, small group trips...but Sharon had convinced me that I needed to visit her country Jamaica. So I found an opportunity to go last minute. Her friends hosted us in Kingston in the most kind and welcoming way, making us feel right at home - they took us to local bars, karaoke, clubs, and showed us the art scene. Having Sharon to guide us not only gave us a much fuller experience, she also ensured that we got as much local flavour as we could. There is so much we couldn’t see and do there, but we will go on one of her trips to truly experience it.
