Journeys Signature Trips

Journeys Signature Trips (JSTs) are one-time offerings, timed to witness an extraordinary event or designed to fulfill a travel dream of one of our directors. We present about a dozen of these trips annually, with each trip announced 15-24 months in advance. Group sizes range from 10-16 participants, and trips typically fill quickly. Every year, there are JSTs led by Founders Joan and Will Weber, individually and jointly, as well as by Founder Pemba Sherpa, Sales Director Pat Ballard, Client Services Director Florine Herendeen and other beloved country directors.
