How friendships form on Collette tours

One of the wonderful things about group travel is the interesting people you meet on tour – many of our passengers stay in touch long after the tour ends – and even make plans to travel together again in the future.

This guest post is the result of correspondence received from Valentina Chubak, who met Jane Honeycutt while they were both passengers on a Collette Vacations tour.

We met on a Collette Vacations tour to Copper Canyon in 2007 and have kept in touch ever since.

Jane visited me in Victoria, British Columbia, where I live and we spent a delightful day in Butchart Gardens.

And I am making plans to visit Jane in Louisiana in the future.

I hope to plan that trip to Louisiana around the Mardi Gras and continue on to someplace warm in the sunny Caribbean.

We were so comfortable together from the very first day.

It was interesting to note that Jane and I have similar likes in food, books and the arts.

While traveling through Mexico’s sprawling Copper Canyon, an area four times larger than the Grand Canyon, both Jane and I were impressed by the untouched land of rugged beauty; a place where indigenous people live as they have for centuries.

My new friend Jane sums up the experience beautifully. “How wonderful to have a friendship like this made through one of Collette’s vacations. We feel the world would be a better place if something like this could continue to be fostered in the years to come, to better understand each other as individuals and the countries that we live in.”
