We intentionally keep our groups very small (never more than 10 people), and we focus on cultivating relationships between travelers before we leave for our destination. This means that by the time you depart for your journey, you’ll probably already have met and talked to your travel companions. We find this makes a huge difference in how people experience the trip, and allows people to travel with a sense of friendship and camraderie.

Roam and Gather is also an advocate for slow, authentic travel. We strive to take time at each destination to truly learn about the culture, history, customs and people in each place rather than check to-dos off of a list.

R&G is an amazing experience for those who have a spirit of adventure, who want to slow down a bit, who are naturally curious and open to other ways of being, and who love getting to know new people who are different from themselves. Generally speaking, Roamers are…

…open to new experiences and willing to stretch their comfort zone a bit

…are deeply and genuinely curious about other people and cultures

…relaxed and understand that travel requires a certain amount of flexibility

…are interested in a unique group experience

…able to walk a moderate amount each day

…independent and don’t require a lot of hand holding

…fully engaged and present in the experiences they’re having

…non-judgmental towards people who have different backgrounds, philosophies, and lifestyles than their own

Absolutely not! Due to our emphasis on building community and friendship before we arrive in our destination, you’ll feel right at home with the group.

We also pair you with a roommate for the hotel stay, so that you can avoid the high fees associated with paying a single room supplement.

Yes! Though Roam & Gather is about building community with the rest of your group, we're also big on having time alone. Each day will have a block of time where you can do whatever you'd like - shop, see more sights, or simply rest at the hotel.

Our ability to accomodate various diets varies from trip to trip, but most of the time we can meet your needs. Please contact us directly and let us know what your requirements are.

Due to the nature of the trip, Roam and Gather journeys are limited to those 21 and older.

Unfortunately, we're unable to assist with detailed plans beyond those included on the itinerary. However, each person traveling with us will have access to a personal planning hub with information on where to find affordable flights, buy travel insurance, and many other tips to help your trip go as smoothly as possible.
