You may or may not have been wondering where the hell is Authenteco!? We’ve been off our social media for almost 6 months. And as a company that prides ourselves on transparency we wanted to explain to our amazing community of travelers why.

P.S. Shelby here. 😃 And I’m going to give you some context as to what the heck we’ve been doing the past 6 months of 2024! There’s no better day to announce our return to Facebook than exciting news! Authenteco Travel was founded with one mission; wildlife and land conservation in the corners of the world we so deeply love. 💚🌿

Our news is.... drumroll please…🥁🥁🥁

Our first ever documentary!

So let’s get to it... where have we been? 🤔

We’ve been building the different parts of Authenteco to create a business that goes beyond “Authenteco Travel”. Authenteco, the company, will be much more than planning your perfect luxe vacation. And we’d love to share where we are headed:

🏨 Authenteco Realty
🎞️ Authenteco Films
🧳 Authenteco Travel (don’t worry we will always still plan your perfect vacay!)

🤫 The last arm of our business is our secret to keep. For now!

So what will Authenteco become? Much more than a travel company and we can’t wait to bring all of you who have supported me personally and this dream for the past 5 years.

Stay tuned, as we start to share the launch of our new project above! 💚

Happy Veterans Day🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Today, we celebrate those who deserve it most.

Everyday, we are grateful for those who are brave enough to risk their lives in order to protect the United States of America. ❤️🤍💙

Our CEO, Shelby, has served in the US Navy for over nine years. In a few weeks, she will be done with her service and turn to being the CEO of Authenteco as her full time job.

The Authenteco Travel team is inspired by Shelby’s bravery and ambition everyday, as we are by all who have ever served.

HAPPY WHY AUTHENTECO WEDNESDAY🤍

This week our featured happy traveler is Britany Melvin! Last year, Britany and her family went to Utah!

Britany said, “I am so glad we decided to use Shelbey and her amazing team at Authenteco! We wanted to a stress free, outdoor excursion, kid friendly trip for our 10 year wedding anniversary. The team at Authenteco did above and beyond from planning our meals and all of our fun things to do! I would highly recommend splurging and using a travel agent and letting them plan the perfect trip!”

Thank you Britany for your kind words about Authenteco❤️ So happy to hear from another happy traveler😊

Stay tuned for next weeks Why Authenteco Wednesday!

HAPPY WHY AUTHENTECO WEDNESDAY🤍

This week, we are featuring yet another repeat traveler!

George went to Italy earlier this month to celebrate his thirtieth birthday the right way… with Authenteco! 🥳🍾🍝🏎️

George said, “This was my 2nd Authenteco vacation with these amazing people. They made my 30th Birthday wish come true in so many ways. Shelby and her A-Team have a great passion for planning trips.”

P.S. While on his vacation in Italy, George gave Authenteco one of our favorite client compliments EVER!

He said, “To bad there’s not an award ceremony for you all because y’all deserve an Oscar.”

Thanks, George❤️. Authenteco loves you!!

Happy Why Authenteco Wednesday❤️

It’s the best day of the week!!! This week, we are featuring a repeat traveler, Veronika! Last year Veronika traveled to Oregon, and this September she headed to Alaska!

“I have chosen to make traveling an essential part of my life. It is the time I dedicate to marvel about places I haven’t seen and experienced; meet different cultures and people. I feel I’m becoming a more “whole being”.
Traveling is a synonym of happiness
And if not done the proper way it can turn into a nightmare.
Choosing Authentico to build my perfect vacation is guaranteed happiness. All I have to do is chose my destination and I know I’m going to be taken care off.”

We ❤️ you, Veronika!

This week our featured traveler is Jenn Fox. This September, Jenn and her husband Jonathan went to Zion National Park in Utah.

“Shelby & the entire Authenteco Travel team are amazing! They went above & beyond when it came to planning our Zion National Park trip. We loved how structured, yet flexible our trip felt. Every detail was thought out and well executed. I cannot recommend them enough.”

We LOVE hearing stories from happy travelers who enjoyed their experiences traveling with Authenteco❤️! Check back in next Wednesday for another Why Authenteco Wednesday post😉

Up first, we have the lovely Allison Carter who visited Montana in September⛰️🥾🦬

“We chose Authenteco after some of our friends used them for a couple’s vacation. To be honest, I am a terrible planner and the services they offered were just what I needed. Authenteco far exceeded any and all expectations we had ❤️”

How do you keep adventure alive when you’re not on vacation? 🤔🤔

We’d all love to travel ✈️ constantly, but unfortunately for most, this isn’t a reality. At best we’d be lucky to take our limited vacation days each year to go somewhere fun and exciting and new. 🤩🤩

So what can you do when you’re not traveling? 🤔🤔

1. Go on short weekend adventures to beautiful places 🚗🛶🏔🚵‍♀️
2. Take weekend escapes - long weekends and taking an annual leave day on either side of a weekend is a great way to fit more trips into your year! We book quick weekend escapes all the time and they are filled with relaxation and fun adventures! 🚗🚗🚗
3. Go on a themed date 💃🏻💃🏻night! We love a good dinner date, but why not mix it up and go check out a restaurant featuring the cuisine of the country you’re dying to visit? No better way to feel inspired to book your next trip!
4. Plan your next vacation! 💻 There’s nothing more exciting 🤩that dropping your deposit 💰💰for your next big trip and getting to count down 🗓 to it!!

Is there anything we’ve missed? How do you keep adventure alive when you’re not on vacation? 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Have you ever wanted to learn how to cook authentic Italian 🍝food?

Travel with us to Tuscany, and you’ll learn how to cook 🍕🍝 like a real Nonna in her home! 🏡

Nonna Ciana will be your host and she'll lead you through an authentic traditional cookery class where you will enjoy the warm hospitality of an Italian family home & farm.

You'll prepare a typical Italian 🍝🍝 meal with dishes such as fresh homemade hand rolled pasta as a first course, a Tuscan “antipasto”, or starter, a main course, and finished with a typical Italian dessert.

When we book vacations, we make sure they are UNFORGETTABLE and this experience is no exception.

Nothing gets better than chatting, cooking, drinking, and eating with Nonna Ciana and learning the secrets to Italian home cooking (where they even make their own olive oil).

Have you ever dreamed of a Greece trip?? ✈️

Well we’re dreaming 💭 with you! And now - we’re even more excited 😆 to send you there!

Paros - the famous Greek Island - has been selected to represent a future free of plastic pollution and waste. 😍😍

Paros was chosen because of its size, being an island 🏝 its easy to see what comes in and out, and the influx of tourists ✈️ during the summer 🌞 months.

The ultimate goal is to use this project as an example – scale it up and apply the process to larger communities worldwide.

How?
- Overhauling the waste management systems
- eradicating problem plastics
- changing legislation
- educating residents
- giving schoolchildren reusable water bottles
- installing drinking fountains
- turning used hotel bedsheets into reusable shopping bags

Paros is one of the top islands we’re sending people to this summer, and we’re so excited to be supporting amazing destinations with initiatives like this!!

“I am your first mother. On my back, I’ve carved out mountains that bellow and roar as they grow to pierce the sky. I’ve dug out oceans so deep that light can never reach the bottom. Inside, an eternal fire rages and with its power I can paint new land like an artist’s brush on canvas.

Everything lives perfectly in harmony and you showed up just in time to inherit the world I built.

I didn’t know what you would become in the beginning but you proved to be resilient, just like me, you are my miracle.

I watched you grow up and you were kind to me. I knew you would need to eat so I stocked my forests, oceans, and even the sky, with creatures and fruits to feed you. I made it so that plants could grow on top of me to help you survive. You took only what you needed and when you did, you thanked me for it.

I’ve opened my arms to you and let you play in my mountains, explore new lands across my seas, and even gaze at the stars of worlds far away - I’ve given you everything. But now, it doesn’t feel like enough. You’ve demanded more of me, lost your gratitude for me, and you’re destroying a world I’ve carefully designed for US.

You’re poisoning our water, decimating the forests, dumping trash in our pristine oceans, and pumping the sky full of toxic potions. Your need to consume is outpacing my ability to provide and while I can do this alone, it’s better with you here.

And I’m asking - no, begging: please help me. We’ve done this before and we can do it again. But it has to be now. You must protect me from yourselves. For all that I’ve done for you, it’s your turn to do this for me. "
