Perspectives on Small Group Travel
Spring 2023

Welcome to the Spring edition of our News & Views newsletter that we hope sparks some ideas for travels of your own in the months ahead.

Exposure to local architecture and design often counts as a highlight for many travelers, so we’ve gathered examples of some unique architecture styles that you’ll see on Odysseys tours: from the whimsy of Antoni Gaudí’s Barcelona creations to the futuristic high-rises of Singapore, along with several more down-to-earth structures in Scotland, Israel, and Egypt.

Closer to home, Odysseys’ popular North America destinations just might have you packing your bags for Alaska, Canada’s Rockies or Maritime Provinces, or the national parks of the American Southwest.

And we’re delighted to introduce you to guest Kathy Young, who conquered her fears to become a confident solo traveler. In our Q&A blog post, Kathy describes her path to partnering with Odysseys for her journeys.

Finally, if you’re headed to Europe anytime soon, you’ll want to check out the guide to tipping there – the practice often differs from what we’re accustomed to here at home in the U.S.

Wishing you happy and safe travels!

Sincerely,

Signature

For your independent travels within Europe, Travel + Leisure's “Ultimate Country-by-Country Guide to Tipping in Europe” can help you navigate the norms of tipping across the continent with ease.
