It took a pandemic and a global shutdown for me to catapult How Far Adventures into a luxury and adventure travel focused position.
Towards the end of 2020, I teamed up with my host agency, Gifted Travel Network and elevated my status and standing with the highest level of service and top brands in the industry such as Four Seasons, Belmond Group. Hyatt Prive, Marriott Stars, and of course the established Virtuoso.
What does this mean for you my clients?
