Hey ,

Can I share something personal with you?

For years, I've had this secret struggle with group travel. You know that feeling when you're on a "dream vacation," but end up hiding in your room because the constant socializing is just... too much?

Yeah, that was me. A travel professional who sometimes needed a vacation from his vacation. 😅

That's why I'm excited (and honestly, a bit nervous) to share something with you: Elevating Travel is evolving. While I'll absolutely continue helping you and your friends plan those perfect individual getaways and group events you've come to trust me with, I'm also creating something new - something I wish existed years ago - small group trips specifically designed for introverts and those who love them.

Picture this:

• Experiencing Jamaica's Blue Mountains with a small, laid-back group
• Having your own quiet corner at an adults-only, all-inclusive resort
• Enjoying meaningful cultural experiences without the social pressure
• Actually coming home refreshed instead of needing recovery time

And the best part? Being with people who get it. No explaining why you need alone time or feeling guilty about skipping the group dinner for room service and a sunset.

Our first hosted trip is already in the works - "Blue Mountain Beans & Beats" in Jamaica (May 4-9, 2025), and I couldn't be more excited to share it with you. Here's what makes this trip special:

• 5 nights at the intimate, adults-only Jewel Paradise Cove Resort
• A curated Blue Mountain coffee experience with plenty of peaceful moments to savor both the views and your cup
• Small-group size (max 20 people) ensuring a laid-back, pressure-free atmosphere
• Thoughtfully planned schedule with built-in downtime and optional activities
• Experience a day of reggae vibes where you can take in the music in an authentic setting
• All-inclusive comfort with quiet spaces to retreat when you need them

The best part? Everything is designed to let you experience Jamaica's vibrant culture at your own pace, with like-minded travelers who understand the need for balance between connection and solitude.

Or let's chat about whether this trip is right for you - just shoot me an email or call 770-354-1613 for a pressure-free conversation about making this adventure yours.

In the coming weeks, I'll be sharing more about this new direction, including travel tips for introverts, quiet spots at our favorite resorts, and ways to enjoy group trips without draining your social battery.

Here's to traveling authentically,

Dave
