The Heart Behind Our Journeys
At HB Hosted Journeys, we believe the best travel experiences don't begin when you board the plane—they begin the moment you give yourself permission to say yes.
These journeys aren't about checking destinations off a list or filling every hour with activities. They're about slowing down, embracing a destination, connecting with local people and cultures, and leaving room for the unexpected moments that often become the most meaningful.
Every HB Hosted Journey is thoughtfully designed around five guiding principles that shape every decision we make—from the places we stay to the conversations we create and the moments we intentionally leave unplanned.
Thoughtful Design
Every detail is intentionally chosen so you can stop planning and start being present.
Meaningful Connection
With yourself, with the women beside you, and with the people who call our destination home.
Curiosity
Travel has the power to make the world feel smaller and our perspective bigger.
Presence
We believe some of the most memorable moments happen when there is space to simply sit, breathe, and take it all in.
Care
From the first welcome email to the journey home, we want every guest to feel genuinely cared for.
The greatest souvenir isn't what you bring home—it's who you become while you're away.
Kenya reminded me that some of the most meaningful moments in travel aren't the ones we plan for. They happen while listening to a local guide share their story, around a dinner table with women who were strangers only days before, or in the quiet realization that you've stepped outside your comfort zone and found something beautiful waiting there.
Is this journey for you?
You might feel at home here if...
✓ You're always the one planning everyone else's vacations.
✓ You've been saying "maybe someday" for longer than you'd like.
✓ You crave meaningful travel more than rushed sightseeing.
✓ You're excited by new cultures, even if they push you outside your comfort zone.
✓ You'd love to travel with a small group of kind, curious women.
✓ You appreciate thoughtful details and slow moments.
✓ You want to return home feeling lighter than when you left.
If you found yourself nodding along, I created these journeys with you in mind.
What Makes HB Hosted Journeys Different?
We Keep Groups Small
Because meaningful connection happens around one dinner table—not on a bus with 40 strangers.
We Partner with Local Communities
Travel is richer when you learn from the people who call a destination home.
We Build Space Into Every Journey
Some of the best memories happen when nothing is scheduled.
We Sweat the Small Stuff
So you don't have to.
Our First Journey
costa rica | October 16-23 2027
Every HB Hosted Journey begins with a destination chosen for more than just its beauty. It begins with a place that invites you to slow down, embrace curiosity, and experience life a little differently.
Our inaugural journey takes us to Costa Rica—a country where Pura Vida isn't simply a phrase, but a way of life. Together, we'll explore breathtaking landscapes, support inspiring women-owned businesses, learn from local communities, and leave space for the quiet moments that often become the most meaningful.
This isn't about seeing everything Costa Rica has to offer.
It's about experiencing it thoughtfully, alongside a small group of women who are just as curious, open-hearted, and ready for adventure as you are.
Along the Way...
-
Wander through lush rainforests.
-
Learn the story behind locally grown cacao.
-
Share laughs over a traditional cooking class.
-
Meet inspiring women making a difference in their communities.
-
Soak in natural hot springs.
-
Wake slowly with optional morning yoga.
-
Leave room for the unexpected.
We've intentionally built in free time because some of the most memorable moments happen when you have the space to discover them yourself.
