Yes we absolutely can help you with that Franeska! I will have Ales touch base with you.
We had never used a travel agent before, but decided to use one because we thought it may be a little easier. Thank goodness we found Ales Struna with Journeys of the Spirit. We had initially received quotes from a few other travel agencies. One never replied to my questions and the other told us that our requests were unreasonable. Not Ales, he made it happen, this guy was amazing. Days before our departure, our airline went on strike and when every other passenger was stranded because their travel agent didn’t stay on top or even inform them of what was going on, Ales was up until the wee hours of the night talking to the airlines to find us an alternate route. . He booked us incredible rooms, answered every email within minutes and made sure every detail was perfect. He even sent us a great packet of information for every city we visited with restaurant recommendations and must visit sites and included very nice maps of every city. We had not one issue. We will only use Ales from now on for all of our travel. I usually don’t write a lot of reviews but we are so appreciative of all of the time and attention he spent to make sure our honeymoon was fantastic. And he did it within the budget we requested without compromising quality. I can’t imagine a better travel agent whose is more dedicated to making sure your trip exceeds your expectations. With our deepest sincerity, thank you Ales!

Hi I am going on David Ault’s trip to Cambodia. I am considering doing the transportation and lodging (same lodging and flights as the group) and going to work in the school but not sign up for all the side trips the group does. I would also like to go to India and meet the Dalai Lama afterwards and would like assistance with that experience. Would it be possible to do that on my own? Where should I go in India for highlights? As you see I have lots of questions.
Thank you,
Diane
Hi
I am a juicy artist, therapist, workshop facilitator – I run workshops – currently in the UK , Iceland, Greece and the USA – with titles like Magical Mermaid Creativity Retreat AND Winter Creative Cocoon – Ive limited how many I run as I hate the admin side of things and the logistics of planning everything for people…I am looking to form partnerships and make contacts with people who may want to help organise the travel side of things etc….would this be something you are interested in ?
my web site is just getting an update …next week it should be up again http://www.clarecampbell.org big love Clare xxx
My husband and I would like to travel to central our south american end of January for 10 days. I love spiritual sites and Mayan ruins. We would love the most affordable all inclusive trip, staying in modest accommodations. Enjoy water sports (kayaking, hiking,). We live in Pensacola FL , could fly out of Miami for best rate (or Tampa). 1 bedrm-1bath perfect..
Love and Light,

Ales helped me with a truly memorable trip to the Hawaiian island of Kauai. I highly recommend him. He is very knowledgeable and will find you great deals.
Wie geht’s? I am looking for a trip that would be reasonable for a 52 YO single traveling from Denver sometime between July 10 and August 6 – maybe a long weekend. Enjoy hiking, photography, would try yoga, etc. Dankeschoen.
