Journeys Signature Trips

Journeys Signature Trips (JSTs) are one-time offerings, timed to witness an extraordinary event or designed to fulfill a travel dream of one of our directors. We present about five-ten of these trips annually, with some of these trips announced as much as 15-24 months in advance. Group sizes range from 10-16 participants, and trips often fill quickly. JSTs are led by Founders Joan and Will Weber, individually and jointly, as well as by Florine Herendeen, Kerina Rowley, Lene Minder, and Robin Weber Pollak, as well as some of our in-country operations directors.
