The magic of traveling with us starts long before you roll out your mat for that first yoga session. Our journeys are designed to be immersive, invigorating, and unforgettable — which is why we partner with Vamoos, a travel app that takes all your adventure essentials and bundles them into one sleek, user-friendly experience. 

But it’s not just about logistics. Thanks to Vamoos’s “Enhance Your Trip” feature, you’ll have all the little extras that turn a good trip into a great one right at your fingertips.

Before you even step on the plane, we use this section to share articles, videos, and tips for preparing for your journey. Think of it as a curated welcome packet — filled with everything from meditative guides to local music playlists that give you a taste of your destination. Imagine listening to soothing rhythms of traditional Khmer music or the soft strumming of a French guitar as you daydream about your upcoming adventures.

This section of the app will be your personal guidebook, concierge, and cultural cheat sheet all rolled into one. With every swipe and scroll, “Enhance Your Trip” brings a piece of your destination to life, from booking to boarding and beyond. Here’s how this section of the app can prepare you for an unforgettable adventure.

Before You Go: Local Insights & Essential Information

Whether it’s your first international adventure or your 10th, prepping for a trip is always a bit of a dance between excitement and organization. That’s where Vamoos steps in to keep things as zen as possible.

In “Enhance Your Trip,” you’ll find essential historical and cultural details that make each place distinct. Heading on our next Iceland Yoga Adventure in February? Lose yourself in an article that reveals quirky, humorous sides of Iceland’s folklore and landscapes — like a world where elves might just share the hillside with you. 

Joining us in Provence in April? Learn how lavender isn’t just a flower but a whole season unto itself, painting the hills in deep purples and wafting through the air as a fragrant welcome to summer.

And it doesn’t stop there. The app gives you everything from a beginner’s guide to Sicilian wines (picture yourself swirling a glass of rich, earthy Nero d’Avola) to a breakdown of local etiquette — like how to greet your hosts with a friendly “Bonjour!” or when to leave those shoes by the door (or risk offending the locals).

Local Culture: A Gateway to Connection

Once you arrive, Vamoos becomes your local cultural guide, sharing everything from quick language tips to little-known traditions that make each place unique. If you’re in Cambodia and want to learn the basic Khmer phrases you’ll need to navigate, our “Enhance Your Trip” section has you covered. 

For our Provence Yoga Adventure, you’ll see a section on French 101 to make chatting with the locals a breeze, a podcast about pronunciations, and even a French music playlist on Spotify to really get you in the spirit. 

Our goal is to make it easy for you to connect with the local environment in an authentic way, whether you’re venturing out for a solo stroll or heading into town with the group. It’s like having a local friend who shares all the secrets you didn’t know you needed!

Local Tips & Top Spots: Beyond the Tourist Path

We don’t just travel the world to do yoga in gorgeous locations — we go to explore, too. When it comes to dining, exploring, or unwinding, we want you to have the inside scoop. In the “Enhance Your Trip,” section of our apps, we also highlight our favorite bites and activities. These aren’t just any old recommendations; they’re curated with care to help you immerse yourself in the culture.

Imagine you’re on our Yoga Adventure in Panama this week. Vamoos will fill you in on 19 Panamian foods you need to try before the trip ends, or a list of all the optional excursions you can partake in (may we suggest a visit to Monkey Island?). We’re not just sending you to landmarks; we’re helping you connect to the soul of each destination.

A Journey Enhanced, Not Just Organized

We believe that a retreat should be more than just a series of scheduled events — it should be a transformative experience that connects you to new places, new people, and new parts of yourself. And with “Enhance Your Trip,” all of those possibilities are in your hands, exactly when you need them.

So the next time you find yourself packing up for an adventure with us, don’t forget to check out this little section in the Vamoos app we create for you. It’s where the magic happens before, during, and even after your trip, helping you dive deeper into every moment. Because when it comes to exploring the world, the journey isn’t just about the destination — it’s about enhancing every step along the way.
