FYW’s small group department is focused on facilitating lifelong friendships with like-minded individuals through travel. We want travelers to understand even the smallest interactions, whether it be with fellow travelers or individuals from other countries, can have a big impact on our well-being. FYW is about finding your purpose in life — it’s about recognizing our differences and understanding that, although we are all different in many ways, we are all very much the same. Each person you meet can teach you something about culture, history, and human connection. These small lessons are like pieces of a puzzle. Once pieced together, these lessons begin to reveal a much bigger picture that helps us understand how, and where, we fit in to this world. FYW trips practice sustainable tourism. This means that we focus on: Leaving a small carbon footprint Spending money where it’s needed (staying in locally owned/family-run accommodations rather than a large hotel chain, etc)

By booking with us, you support our small business and keep our travel dreams alive. We create travel packages based on your needs when planning the trip. If travel components were purchased piece by piece, the travelers could pay more by the end of the trip. Our agency isn't paid until after you travel. We invest in our clients as much as they invest in us.
