We're Going to the Edge of the World!
Our group of 7 women is getting ready and excited for our Portugal Trip starting in 3 weeks! One of the places we're visiting is Cabo da Roca (Cape Rock), the western-most point in all of Europe - sometimes called The Edge of the World. We won't be going past the safety barrier to the very edge, like those in the video below. But we will see it from a safe vantage point. Afterward, we'll walk among the cedar forests of Sintra National Park and along the cliffside coast.

Join us for our next "First Time to Portugal" trip October 3-12. Request details at this link: https://wonderwelltravel.com/request-form

Is anyone interested in going to Portugal?

We're just back from a one-month trip there and I'm now setting up trips for others for this fall and next year.

One is a small-group trip for 6 active women - whoever they may be - from October 6-15, 2023. It's a "First Time to Portugal Adventure: From Lisbon to Porto and Beyond", and has an awesome itinerary that we have personally tried and tested with a few women on our last trip there. You can pre-register to indicate your interest here: https://wonderwelltravel.com/pre-registration-form-1

In addition to that trip, the same trip can be customized for an individual, a couple, multiple couples, or a group of whatever size, shape, gender, different dates this year or next, etc. Other locations within Portugal can be added as well. If interested, fill out the request for information here: https://wonderwelltravel.com/trip-design

This quote by Delia says it so well! Travel, done right, is a form of self-care, therapy, renewal and growth. Travel, and take your power back.

If you’re wondering why you are now seeing replies from Wonder Well Travel instead of from Lori, it’s because I have started up my new specialty tours and travel advisory business and converted my personal Instagram account to Wonder Well. I didn’t do much on Instagram before anyway so you won’t be missing much in that respect. And for the life of me I couldn’t sort out how to get 2 different accounts set up, so there you have it. Lori is Wonder Well and Wonder Well is Lori. If you’re curious, check out the website at wonderwelltravel.com.

Is Portugal on Your Dream Destinations List? It’s on ours and we're heading there next week for a month-long exploration to map out the perfect itinerary for a new Wellness Wine & Wonder small-group trip we’ll be adding to our roster.

Wellness Wine & Wonder trips are carefully crafted curated experiences, which means that we have personally researched, tried, and tested all elements – hotels, restaurants, wineries, historical and other sights, transportation, and especially timing to ensure that the trip is not too rushed.

For these trips, we want to strike the perfect balance between must-see tourist attractions, awe-inspiring natural wonders, outdoor adventures, local food and wine tastings, music and culture, invigorating wellness activities – with itineraries meticulously designed to create unforgettable moments and memories.

We’ll be traveling the country from top to bottom and east to west: Lisbon, Porto and surrounding towns, the Alentejo and Algarve regions including the Atlantic coast. Watch for updates as we go!

Get ready to join our new Wellness Wine & Wonder Portugal trip this October or request a customized trip to suit your interests or your group.

One reason to visit Slovenia:

Slovenia has been making wine for thousands of years, but the country's wine regions have long been overshadowed by neighboring Italian ones. That is starting to change. Visit Slovenia for incredible wine-making experiences, tastings, tours, and more.
