“I almost didn’t do this...”

There’s a moment that happens on almost every Lindsey Adventures trip. It’s usually quiet. It’s rarely planned. And it almost always surprises the person experiencing it.
It’s the moment when someone looks around—maybe from a mountaintop Sleigh ride through the forest, a café table, or the window seat of a motorcoach—and realizes: “I almost didn’t do this.”
It happened on our Christmas Markets trip, and the person said they had really wondered if traveling right before the holiday was the right thing...and they paused, and smiled when they said " it was sooo right for me, I really needed this".
That’s what this adventure thing is really about. Not just the destination. Not just the photos or the passport stamp. But the decision to say yes—even when doubt was whispering no.
Many of our travelers tell us the same thing before they ever book:
“I’ve always wanted to go… I just didn’t know for sure if it was the right time.”
Here’s the truth we’ve learned after guiding hundreds of travelers across the world: There is no perfect time. There is only a willing heart.
The Courage to Begin
The Lindsey Adventures community is filled with people who are adventurous at heart—but human enough to feel nervous.
Some come solo. Some haven’t traveled internationally in decades. Some worry about keeping up, fitting in, or feeling out of place.
And then something beautiful happens.
They step onto the bus. They hear a laugh. They’re greeted by name.
And just like that—they belong.
On the bus, you’re one of us.™
That’s not a slogan. It’s a promise.
Travel That Feels Human
We don’t believe travel should feel intimidating or transactional.
That’s why every Lindsey Adventures trip is hosted, not just escorted.
One traveler on our recent trip to Italy wrote to us and said "George brings the warmth, the stories, and joy. Deanna brings the care, the details, the calm confidence. Y'all are special."
Together, we make sure no one is ever left out or left behind.
Because luxury isn’t just five stars. Luxury is feeling safe, seen, and supported.
What You Take Home
Yes—you’ll come home with photos.
But you’ll also come home with:
New confidence
New friendships
And a new belief in what’s still possible
We’ve watched hesitant travelers become bold ones. We’ve seen strangers become lifelong travel companions. We’ve heard it said again and again:
“I wish I’d done this sooner.”
And our favorite response?
“You didn’t miss it. You arrived exactly when you were supposed to.”
If You’re Feeling the Nudge…
If this story stirred something in you—pay attention.
That quiet pull isn’t pressure. It’s curiosity. And curiosity is where every great adventure begins. When you’re ready, we’ll be here.
