Before I started this website, long before I ever had stamps in my passport or had traveled internationally, I used to stalk Contiki on social media.
For years, I thought of international travel as an unattainable desire that only became a reality for those with rich parents or much older people who’d landed big bucks jobs.
The Contiki tours were different. The photos were packed with young smiling people in places I’d always dreamed of exploring.
While the trips weren’t free, they weren’t millions of dollars or out of the realm of possibility. Contiki was a brand I felt like I could trust because it was relatable to my reality in ways other travel companies just weren’t.
