Wellness in the Wild trips should create friends out of strangers. They’re designed to get travelers out and about on wild magical travel adventures, not to keep them hunkered down in secluded hotels.
We picture Wellness in the Wild travelers eating heavenly lunches at hole-in-the-wall restaurants while taking the scenic route from place to place. They’re free to bachata till dawn on a Tuesday with Trove guides as their wingpeople.
We imagine yoga class beginning with a deep breath regardless of the distance between mats. In our minds, our travelers are soaking up knowledge from local chefs, craftspeople, farmers, or historians without worrying if they’re close-talkers. And they’re belly laughing without a care in the world and ideally not through a mask.
Unfortunately, our vision for Wellness in the Wild doesn’t fit neatly into a world where s**t is hitting the fan like it is. So, we’ve decided to postpone our Wellness in the Wild trips until we’re confident we can deliver an experience closer to the one we’re knownimagining for our travelers. We’re eyeing Spring 2022.
It’s been a tough decision. Our teams in Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic remain excited to host our travelers. Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic are still very much open for travel; both countries have prioritized keeping their tourism sector up and running. On top of government protocols, we’ve worked with our local teams on additional safeguards intended to minimize risk of COVID at every turn. Despite all our efforts to keep Wellness in the Wild on the books as planned, we’re ultimately going with our guts on this one and waiting for a better time.
But Trove Travels isn’t shutting down. We’ll be here doing the best we can despite the chaos. So, if travel dreaming is your coping mechanism, save some PTO for Wellness in the Wild in the Spring or hit us up to plan your own adventure.
