Eighteen Friends, One Long Table, and the Trip That Started It All.
That's when we knew it wasn't a hunch anymore. It wasn't an idea we kicked around on long phone conversations. It was the thing in front of us, already happening, already working. People we love had just lived through the version of group travel we'd been quietly discussing and designing for months, and they told us they’d do it again.
I Booked a Group Trip Solo... and Came Home a Queen. Literally.
Day one, we were deep in the Panamanian jungle, fully immersed with an indigenous tribe... At the start of the tour, I'd casually mentioned it was my birthday. The kind of mention you make and immediately regret because now it's a thing. Except this time, it was a thing in the best possible way.
They crowned me queen for the day.

I've been on trips before. Most of them blur together. You know the kind... where you come home and need a vacation from the vacation.
Panama wasn't that.
