Trying to keep up with all the summer demand like…⁣
⁣
But seriously, travel is back in a very real way! I can’t tell you how thrilled I am to see that so many of you are ready to get back out and explore this world of ours, and I can’t wait to help get you there! Some helpful hints as summer travel kicks off:⁣
⁣
• Pack your patience! This summer is trending to being one of the busiest, even since pre-pandemic times. Much of the world, like home, is still understaffed so a smile, a kind word and a bit of patience can go a very long way! ⁣
⁣
• Pricing is high and availability is low! Much of Europe is booked for this summer, but there are still many other fabulous destinations to explore that still have availability! So, if you’re still looking to travel this year, keep yourself open to exploring some other great locations. Or, if you have your heart set on Europe, get in touch so we can keep you on our radar for summer 2023! ⁣
⁣
• Supplier partners are BUSY! Current business levels, and the influx of last-minute inquiries, has caused many of our top supplier partners to handle requests based on travel dates, prioritizing those with imminent departure dates first, which allows all of us to guarantee the same high-level of quality and attention to detail that my clients have grown accustom to. ⁣
⁣
But above all, ENJOY!! It is now, more than ever, a privilege to be traveling, and one that I will certainly never take for granted, again. ⁣
⁣
And to my clients, THANK YOU! It has been a long last couple of years, and I couldn’t be more appreciative of your continued trust, support and patience while the world reopens!

Merci beaucoup to , , and ⁣

A typical day at Etéreo includes kitesurfing and kayaking the crystal waters, or learning more about the Mexican culture through cooking and appreciating each dish. Relax by stepping out for an honorary ritual with the in-house Shaman, or enjoy a customized healing treatment to cleanse your mind, soul, and body. ⁣
