Meet Your Guide:
Linda Beach, Your Your Adriatic Host and Happiness Curator
If youâre wondering how I became obsessed with creating unforgettable travel adventuresâŚletâs just say it wasnât always coastline cruises, charming Old Towns, and fabulous small groups of adventurous souls.
A few years ago, I realized I was starring in my own personal version of Groundhog Day. Everything looked fine on the outside but felt painfully predictable on the inside. I needed a jolt of joy â something bold, something different, something that reminded me I was still very much alive.
So I did something a little wild. I sold my business, gave away almost everything I owned, and moved to a tiny island in Belize⌠where I didnât know a single person. (10 out of 10 recommend for character development.) đł
What happened next changed everything. I traveled. I explored. I said yes to new places, new people, new flavors, new rhythms of life. Somewhere along the way, my spark came back â brighter than ever!
And thatâs exactly how I ended up creating joy-filled, culturally rich, small-group adventures for curious travelers who crave connection, beauty, and a little bit of magic.
I handle the logistics so you can do the fun stuff:Â laugh, explore, eat well, wander freely, and feel that spark again.
And trust me â the Adriatic delivers. I canât wait to show you around Croatia and Montenegro!
Some love from past participants...â¤ď¸
Susie Goodwin
Iâve attended two of Lindaâs journeys now and they were both truly remarkable experiences! Both offered a perfect balance of culture, history, sightseeing and amazing food. We enjoyed wine tastings, a lively catamaran cruise along the coast of Tuscany, an adventurous Vespa excursion, and a scenic bike tour on the walls of Lucca. Linda is fun, knowledgeable and organized. Both were life-changing journeys for me and I am immensely grateful to Linda for her dedication and the wonderful experience she created for me and the other guests.
Terry Packard
When I joined Linda on her journey through Tuscany, it had been on my bucket list for many decades. The program that Linda put together surpassed all my expectations. She has an eye for detail and provided our group with everything we could have imagined and more! The amazing people I met on the retreat have all become my new friends. I am looking forward to joining Linda for more fun adventures in the future. I am grateful I said yes and highly recommend you do too. I'm still smiling because it was the trip of a lifetime! đ
Tracie Joyner
I can't thank Linda enough for the wonderful experience she curated for me and the other women. Although I generally prefer to travel solo, it was so nice to have everything pre-planned. I really enjoyed getting to know the other ladies. We all got along fabulously and still keep in touch! Linda and her assistant were fun, knowledgeable, and organized. I felt cared for and supported throughout the journey. I came home feeling renewed and inspired and look forward to joining Linda on another amazing retreat one day soon!
