Another great Lake Oswego W**e Walk in the books! 🍷❤️

We always love seeing so many familiar faces, meeting new ones, and getting to spend an afternoon out in the community we’re so proud to call home.

A big thank you to the Arts Council of Lake Oswego for hosting us, and to the Lake Oswego Chamber of Commerce for another fun and successful W**e Walk!

Events like this are one of the things we appreciate most about being a local, brick-and-mortar business. We get to know our community here at home, build connections, and then we sometimes get to take those connections a little farther around the world.

Which brings us to Tuscany…

We’re so excited to be partnering with the Lake Oswego Chamber of Commerce and Collette for our October 2027 Tuscany journey: a chance to experience Italy together while continuing to build on the relationships that make our Lake Oswego community such a great place to be.

There’s something pretty wonderful about starting with a glass of w**e here at home and hopefully sharing one together in Tuscany! Learn more 👉🏼 https://travelcruisedesk.com/tuscany27

Meet Mia Bell, one of our amazing travel advisors who strongly believes some of the best travel happens when you slow down and truly experience where you are. 🌎

And she’s pretty great at making sure her clients have the space to do exactly that.
For Mia, that might mean striking up a conversation with someone local, leaving a little breathing room in the itinerary, or simply being present enough to notice the things you could never plan for.

That perspective shapes the way she plans travel, too. By taking care of the details and creating the right rhythm for each journey, Mia gives her clients more space to connect, explore and truly enjoy the experience.

Because sometimes experiencing more isn’t about fitting more in. It’s about having the freedom to be present for what’s already there.

Swipe through to get to know Mia and the perspective she brings to every journey she helps shape.

And if you’d like to talk travel with her in person, join us at BEYOND on October 14 at Ironlight in Lake Oswego. Mia will be there alongside our team to answer questions, share ideas and help you explore what your next journey could look like.

The event is complimentary, but registration is required: https://shorturl.at/g7fox

September kept our travellers moving. 🌏✈

Here’s a little look back at September ✨

We’re ready for another month of adventures!

Just a friendly reminder...✨

Your next favourite place might be somewhere you haven’t been yet.

So, what’s calling your name? A beach? The mountains? A city you’ve always wanted to explore? Or somewhere completely new?

It’s time to start planning! ✈️

How do you like to see the world?
Some travellers love the freedom of exploring independently. Others prefer the ease of a guided tour, the rhythm of a cruise, or the connection of travelling with a group.
There’s no single right way to travel. It’s about finding the experience that feels right for you.

Our latest blog explores the different ways to travel and what to consider when choosing your next journey.

👉Which travel style sounds most like you? Tell us in the comments.

Compare independent travel, guided tours, cruises, and hosted group journeys to find the travel style that fits your pace, priorities, and comfort.
