This was an extraordinary experience in every aspect. I came away with a profound sense of the pride of the Cuban people in their society, their warmth and generosity, and the great strides they have made in areas such as education and health care. We felt safe, comfortable, and welcomed. Thank you for all you did to make our trip a success. We look forward to returning to Cuba.
I had such an amazing adventure in Cuba! It was the perfect combination of wonderful experiences, decompression from my day-to-day life, and an educational, eye-opening experience about what Cuba has to offer and what its people have endured. I already have a list of people I will be talking to about the trip as a must-do for them!
As a university administrator who runs more than 13 international programs a year, I know how important it is to work with a trusted organization that has a strong vision, a focus on learning outcomes, and attention to safety, risk, and liability. I can attest through my many years of working with Malia that she will organize a top-notch educational experience for your students.
The trip AltruVistas designed for my students increased their understanding and awareness of sociocultural, economic, and environmental tourism impacts faced by small communities on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica. The lectures, interaction with the Indigenous Bribri community, and service-learning component contributed to students’ personal transformation and enhanced their understanding of global citizenship.
The trips AltruVistas plans for my groups of women are filled with thoughtful events, meaningful interaction, and stellar guides. When the most stressful part of your trip is packing, you know you are in good hands. Every trip has had moments of pure magic because of the local connections they have and their commitment to creating special trips where engaging with people matters.
I traveled to Cuba with AltruVistas. This is not your typical tour company. Tell me how many tours take you to Pablo Mendez’s house to listen to the band jam in the living room and drink Cuba libres from the makeshift bar in the kitchen, or chat with Roberto Salas, famous personal photographer for Fidel and Che, in his home? I look forward to more journeys with AltruVistas!
Malia Everette is one of the brightest, most transformational, and skilled travelers—and overall dear friends—that I have known. Malia breathes creativity and spirit into those around her and demonstrates remarkable skill in navigating her international network while maintaining exceptional curiosity toward the unknown. I would travel to the moon, Trans-Siberia, and back again with Malia, knowing we would have experiences that were enriching, educating, and joyous to the core.
