Kind Words From Kindred Voyagers
“Kindred Voyages” is not just a clever name for a touring business. The moment we met our guide, MayaJoëlle, I felt a comfortable sense of the familiar, a “kindred” spirit” welcoming us with a gracious smile and a warm heart. And our voyage was no ordinary tour. From the pre-travel meeting where we explored our personal desires for our trip, to our last night at a quaint restaurant in the countryside in Dordogne, with it’s delectably authentic multi-course French meal, MayaJoëlle struck a wonderful balance of offering just enough structure and flexibility for us to experience what was important to us, and rest when we needed. Her passion for France; the food, the charm, the language, the beauty, the ancient history imbued each meal and adventure with almost a childlike sense of wonder and pleasure. I can’t imagine getting acquainted with the French appetites and sensibilities with anyone more appropriate than MayaJoëlle. She so beautifully embodies them! —Mary Davis, Asheville, NC Dordogne 2011 mary-davis.com
Thank you for a trip full of miracles. Every day was full of pleasure, discovery, surprise, and warm connection within our group and with the people we met. With grace and great love, you supported each of us in fulfilling our intentions for the trip. All the while we enjoyed wonderful meals, great conversation (I’m now dreaming in French, as you suggested might happen), and generous fellowship. It’s been a privilege to travel with you. Anyone would be lucky to do so. —Lisa Sarasohn, Asheville, NC Dordogne 2010 corewellbeing.net
