KNOW THE DETAILS

Read the full itinerary, accommodation types, inclusions, exclusions, and specifics of the tour (destination location, rooming configuration, tour theme, etc.)

BE AGILE

Travel plans always have ‘bumps’ from time to time, and more so in a post COVID world;  travelers understand their will be last-minute changes to itinerary may occur, flights are delayed, and weather isn’t always great – but our team will communicate changes as they happen and we won’t let a little rain ruin our day. The itinerary is a guideline only, and the final call on itinerary changes rests with the TWM team.

UNDERSTAND YOUR COMFORT

Trips usually involve a lot of walking and moving from location to location.  This includes sleeping in beds that aren’t the ones you have at home, as well as weather and climate that is vastly different than what you are used to -  don’t be discouraged, but do understand whether you are comfortable with the type of trip you are signing up for prior to booking

RESPECT YOUR GUIDE

Your local guide has been provided to ensure you have a wonderful and informative trip according to the itinerary.  Any free time or extra curricular activities are up to travelers to organize; unless it’s an emergency, let the guide have some down time in between showing you the best the destination has to offer

BRING YOUR BEST SELF

Be a kind and considerate person that treats others with respect and dignity; you are all on tour together for a reason - to share in your common passion! when in doubt, be someone that other people want to be around (i.e. don’t be someone you wouldn’t want to be around)

BE CURIOUS

Bring an open and inclusive mindset to the people you meet and places you visit;  your tour is an opportunity to step outside your comfort zone, try new and weird things; whilst differing views is encouraged; ensure to do so with consideration and empathy;  always treat others with respect and and dignity; you will be traveling with people from all different backgrounds, countries, and cultures – use it as a chance to learn and grow

RESPECT OTHERS PRIVACY

Be respectful of others digital privacy by not taking photos, sharing personal information, or anything deemed sensitive without first receiving their consent; remember that your tour is meant to relaxing and a source of enjoyment – not stress and anxiety

ACT SAFELY

Stay safe and use common sense should be top of mind at all times;  although you will be travelling to known locations with an experienced guide, it is still important to remember to mind your surroundings at all times

DON’T BE INAPPROPRIATE

No hate, bullying, sexist, racist, trolling, passive aggressive or perceivably inappropriate speech or actions will be tolerated (either on tour or via any communication mediums); if you think it’s something that will offend someone, you wouldn’t want directed to you, or  would get you fired from a workplace or team – then keep it to yourself.  Anyone found to be promoting any negative speech or topics will face removal from TWM communication mediums and possible removal from the trip

FOCUS ON THE TOUR

We encourage organic conversation on work and business amongst travelers, but ask all travelers refrain from any advertising another business, sharing spam, or active self promotion.  If you think it will be additive to the tour or experience, please let us know first.

ENJOY YOURSELF

Each tour is meant to be positive and memorable - how best to do this than to ensure you have the best time you can, by leaving those around you better than you found them
