Columbia South America

Cultural immersion is the act of surrounding yourself with the culture of a place. It might mean living with family and helping out on their farm, or simply sharing a meal with a local. Cultural immersion is a unique experience that can open doors to a deeper understanding of an unfamiliar place.


Cultural experiences can happen in your own homeland where you meet lifestyles different from your home region or it can be a foreign land.  Regardless you will see insider experiences allowing you to embrace the satisfaction of understanding others.

Wonderful family cruise and pre-trip
Our vacation involved multiple cruise cabins, separate flight itineraries, pre-stays and many, many questions. Susan did a superb job cobbling together the various pieces and parts of our trip while calmly and professionally acting as liaison between us, the cruise line, tour operator and hotel staffs. She also offered practical tips to make sure our time was well spent for sightseeing based on our preferences to avoid crowds and optimize our budget.
