8 travEL It’s all about the journey BY ChRIs LYoNs, DIRECtoR aND touR host, WoRLD JouRNEYs Small group travel today can be the ultimate way to visit some of the world’s most challenging and exotic countries. I am in the enviable position of hosting small groups of Kiwi travellers each year to the likes of South America and Africa, and can honestly say it’s the way to go! You may not have friends who share your particular ‘bucket list’ of travel desires, but don’t like travelling alone. Perhaps tackling a foreign language is too daunting, or you simply don’t have the energy to do it all yourself. Booking a small group tour takes care of all of that. There is company to share the experiences with, all the nitty gritty details are taken care of by someone else, and your host is there to smooth the way should anything unexpected happen. World Journeys creates and operates a range of small group tours each year, selecting our most-loved destinations such as the game parks of Africa, the beauty and traditions of Japan, and the epic ports of the Mediterranean. Some include a cruise, while other journeys take roads less travelled. My personal favourite is our Grand Tour of South America. I’ve been travelling to South America for over 20 years now, and still get a thrill from returning to some very special spots in the Amazon, the Galapagos Islands, and of course the incredible cities of Quito, Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires. I never tire of Machu Picchu! Most of all, I love the conviviality of travelling in, and hosting, a small group. There’s always company if you want it, or time to do your own thing every now and then. And every person brings something to the mix. Many lifelong friendships have been forged on tour, and many return again to travel with us in subsequent years. Travel is all about the journey, but it’s also about sharing the experience, and that’s the beauty of travelling with a group.
