Welcome to the Over30Experiences Community!
"I just got back from 9 amazing days in Spain. This was my first trip with under30 and the trip far exceeded my expectations. I write this teary-eyed with gratitude. Rebecca and Eric, our group leaders, were awesome. They were fun and playful yet responsible, knowledgeable, patient, supportive and kind. I felt like I was in good hands at all times—in fact we all started calling them mom and dad by the end of the trip! I couldn't have asked for a better group to see the world with :)" -Jennifer B.
"Huge fan of Under30Experiences! I've always traveled with friends and family in the past, so this was the first time I've done the small group travel thing on my own before. Couldn't have been happier with my experience. The group size was perfect -- small enough that you had a chance to chat with everyone, but big enough to get a really interesting, fun group of people from completely different backgrounds. If you want to travel ASAP, no need to impatiently wait for your friends/family to become available...Under30Experiences is a really great option!" -Rachel L.
"I honestly cannot say enough about my experience to Ireland with this group! Currently sitting in the airport on my way home and can’t stop thinking about how perfect it was. Somehow they put 11 completely different people on a trip and made us feel like a family. Eric was my team leader and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better! They have amazing relationships with the local businesses and restaurants and you can tell they trjoy care about the countries they visit. I can’t wait for my next trip" -Darbi F.
