It’s a wrap! Our very first ✨Vitalize Tours & Travel✨ tour in Greece has come to an end! We had a small and intimate group to share this absolutely MAGICAL country with. From beginning to end, we were charmed, delighted, nourished, welcomed, loved and celebrated by the people and land.

From the ancient ruins of Acropolis and Delphi… to the whimsical forests and mountains of Pavliani… to the quaint seaside village of Galaxidi… and finally to the truly medicinal island of Chios with its healing turquoise waters, medieval castles, mastic trees and delightful hosts… we have fallen deeply in love!

On travel…

“When you travel, you experience, in a very practical way, the act of rebirth. You confront completely new situations, the day passes more slowly, and on most journeys you don’t even understand the language the people speak. So you are like a child just out of the womb…

At the same time, since all things are new, you see only the beauty in them, and you feel happy to be alive.”

An excerpt from “The Pilgrimage” by Paulo Coelho

——

Travel, in our eyes, is always a pilgrimage… an ongoing unfolding and expansion of life on our unique spiritual paths. That is why we often call our small group tours “pilgrimages.” We don’t travel to simply escape life. We travel to grow, expand and transform ourselves for the better. We take these journeys as opportunities to be reborn, become more available to the blessings that life has to offer!

When we travel we naturally become more receptive, trusting, friendly and open. Our instincts also sharpen and our sixth sense comes alive. We are more in tune within and without. These aspects and qualities are our part of our true nature! We simply forget this as we go about our every day lives.

Join one of our upcoming pilgrimages and experience more of your true self! Enjoy the blessings of this life and become reborn!

We still have spaces available for our Sept and Oct Greece and Turkey tours, as well as our 3-week North India Tour in November. Nepal 2024 Women’s Tour & Retreat is now open for registration! More 2024 tours will be announced soon!

Where is your heart pulling you to pilgrimage next?
Join us!

This sweet pic was taken in the village of Raskot, Nepal during our recent tour in April 2023. Raskot village is the home of our Nepal tour co-leader and yoga teacher for both Nepal and India journeys... Veer Shahi! This is Veer's lovely mother, giving us blessings as we arrived in her village and home. A moment that Lisa will never forget.

“Life is either a darling adventure or nothing.” - Helen Keller

We can look out at the world and live vicariously through others… or we can move confidently in the direction of our dreams… saying YES to those adventures that light us up!

We cannot do and be everything all at once, no… but we can start saying “yes” little by little… doing those things that for years we said “maybe next year” to.

What are you waiting for?
This just might be the best time…

This pic of was taken in beautiful Bundi, Rajasthan. Our lovely tour participant .roza and tour leader overlooking the charming village of Bundi… high above the city amongst the trees surrounding the city palace and fort!

Join us this year in Rajasthan!
Just say “yes!”

Southern Turkey is just, WOW!

Join us on our upcoming women's tour ~ October 1-15, 2023

We have a few spots remaining and a small deposit secures your spot on the tour (installment plan available).

The Turquoise Coast is breathtakingly beautiful and exciting to explore. Also known as the “Turkish Riviera”, the southern coast of Turkey is a wonderful place for a holiday.

The coastline stretches for MILES and we will explore some of the quaint beach/port towns and mountain villages – each offering their own unique charm, history and personality.

Daylan, Kathy's favorite area, is nestled between sandy warm beaches and beautiful lakes, forests and high mountains, reminiscent of the Big Sur area of California. We will take riverboats to explore ancient ruins and kings tombs, soak in natural mud and hot springs, swim in the lake, sunbathe on the sandy beaches, and include one day of hiking the impressive Koprulu national park and gorge canyon.

Turkey is an amazing country to see! Invite a Friend! We offer a discount for double registration (mother/daughter, BFF's, sisters, etc).

SOAR IN HOT AIR BALLOONS over Cappadocia!

Women’s Turkey Tour, Oct 1-15.
Registration Ends July 1!

VitalizeTours.com/Turkey

We have 3 spots open for this magical journey!

Cappadocia: The unique gem of Turkey.

No Turkey itinerary is complete without visiting Cappadocia, a valley in Central Anatolia known for its surreal desert landscapes, rich history, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Goreme National Park, and of course, epic hot air balloon rides.

High on the Anatolian plateau, Cappadocia’s curious landscape resembles that of a fantasy world. It’s famous ‘fairy chimney top’ rock formations with tall cone-shaped honey-colored rocks that have been slowly eroded into stunning sculptural forms that resemble minarets.

We will go down into an underground 18-story cave city, hike up to 1st century cave monasteries, cathedrals, castles and houses built deep in the rocks that were used in 1st centuries by Christians fleeing Roman persecution. So Amazing to see!
*Our beautiful 4 star hotel is inside one of these caves!

And if you thought that the views were spectacular from the ground, imagine the mesmerizing view from 3200 feet above the ground in a hot air balloon?

Join us on an adventure where we explore historical Istanbul, hike around and fly over Cappadocia, and enjoy the warm sun on sandy beaches, hike in canyons, lush forests, mountains, and swim in lakes and the “Turquoise Blue” warm waters of the southern Turkish Riveria.

Early Bird Registration by July 1 (tomorrow!)

“You’ll often find yourself in a place that seems so unreal, you’ll wonder if you didn’t end up on another planet. Mother Nature has treated Turkey well!” ~ Cynthia Bill (Journal of Nomads)

Dear friends ~

I’d like to invite you on one of my next women’s adventure trips: 15-Day Tour of Turkey!

Whether you’re a beach bum, a mountain and nature lover, a history buff, or a city person who has a heart for culture, ancient history, delicious food, easy safe travel and dreams of new adventures - Turkey is a country that will satisfy your wanderlust!

I LOVE Turkey. It was a surprise to me, that I would fall in love with it as I did! It was an unexpected journey. I was looking for a new place to explore in Europe in 2021 and needing to leave because of Schengen rule. Turkey was a place to go with the warmest weather, sunny sandy beaches, an interesting long history and outrageous nature adventures.

Plus, I heard so much about Cappadocia, that famous desert area with the fairy top chimney top rock formations. Hot air ballooning over! That was it - I was ready to go. Great surprises and fun all along the way.

Join us!

Here are 3 areas we will be visiting:
~ 4 days in Istanbul
~ 5 days in Cappodocia
~ 6 days in Southern Turkey (beaches and mountains)
