Testimonials

“Walking the Camino was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. Along the way, I met a kind 76-year-old man, Berthony, and his wife Dolores. Though we didn’t speak the same language, we connected through smiles and shared moments on the trail, reuniting day after day. On the third day, we finally spoke with the help of an interpreter, and the joy and kindness in that moment reminded me of the deep humanity that connects us all. Another memory I’ll never forget happened in Finisterre—passing by my late Scottish mother’s hiking shoes as bagpipes played nearby. I could almost hear her laughing, and it felt like the perfect, emotional farewell. There was a moment on the fifth day when I felt so strong, like I could run through a brick wall. That surge of energy gave me clarity and helped me understand why I had come on this journey in the first place. Walking 100 miles in 7 days was no small feat, and I’m proud I completed it without injury—and kept up with Annie! This trip pushed me, inspired me, and brought so much healing. I’ll carry these memories with me forever.”

“Oh gosh—there was just so much! Every moment of this journey was precious, and it was clear that each detail was planned with deep love and intention. I felt a powerful sense of self, freedom, and independence, while also feeling completely held and supported. I could rest easy knowing I had a team—a family—behind me every step of the way. From the flow of each day to the meals, accommodations, and balance of activity and rest, everything exceeded my expectations. The deep connection that formed so quickly within our group was incredibly special. Liz created a space where we could open up and be vulnerable, and those moments of sharing are what I’ll cherish most. I trusted her and our guides completely—we were wrapped in the warmest blanket of care. One of my favorite memories was the night in O Cadavo, sharing a room with three others. It felt like a family cabin—cozy, communal, and full of heart. There was also something so grounding about our mornings: gathering at breakfast, packing our lunches, chatting about the day ahead, syncing up for the trail. The rhythm of it all was beautiful. This experience was truly perfect—and unforgettable.”

“The entire experience was profoundly impactful. The weather challenged me to stay present—one foot in front of the other—and brought a deep sense of gratitude for simply being alive. I walked not only for myself but for those who no longer have the chance. What made this journey even more meaningful was the connection with our group—a truly special collection of people whose generosity, support, and good humor made every step richer. Sharing this experience with my partner was also incredibly rewarding. We worked through challenges together, made space for each other, and offered support in ways that deepened our bond. I return home with a full heart.”

“This trip to Peru far exceeded my expectations! As a teacher, I deeply appreciated how organized, safe, and well-coordinated everything was. It was a gift to fully immerse myself in the experience while our incredible guides handled the logistics and learning. From meaningful service at the Q’ewar Project to exploring beautiful ruins and vibrant towns, every day was enriching. The care given to individual needs—including dietary restrictions—was outstanding. I returned inspired, grateful, and ready to recommend this program to fellow educators and students alike.”

“I went into this trip with no expectations—it was meant for my daughter, not me. But what unfolded was the most meaningful travel experience of my life. I’ve been around the world, yet nothing compares to what we experienced in Peru. The magic of the land, the energy, and the breathtaking sites were unforgettable—but it was the people who made it truly transformative. Our guides, Marcea and Thomas, along with their children and Marcea’s mother, created a warm, multi-generational community that made every moment feel deeply personal. The connections we built, the culture we immersed in, and the care poured into every detail changed me. I’ll never forget this journey—and I absolutely plan to travel with GOGI again.”
