Thrive Through Travel
Hi! I’m Kathy and I've been experiencing the world by living in and visiting fantastic places that are well known and secret little gems. I love travel because it connects me to the world. ​
​
As an artist, community builder, and lover of adventure, nature and cultures, my natural next step was to create travel excursions that provide deep connections and immersive experiences with the world. I believe that, if we let it, travel can open our eyes, minds and hearts to different and amazing ways of experiencing life.
​
Each year I create extraordinary curated trips that connect you with culture and place. No two journeys are ever the same and they are culturally immersive experiences that can incorporate relaxation, culinary delights and exclusive access that are all grounded in meaningful encounters with the destination you are experiencing. These trips are designed to make you feel confident and safe.
Need a group trip planned or a retreat? I do this too. Thrive Through Travel
specializes in small-group, guided tours to bucket-list destinations around the world.
I’m Chris Beekman, a professor of anthropology at the University of Colorado Denver, and have participated in archaeological projects on four continents since 1986. While my own research is now in Mexico, I teach and stay abreast of the full 3-million-year span of global human prehistory.
My love of other cultures inspired my career in archaeology and continues to drive my interest in travel. Every place we visit, I spend time learning about the prehistory, language, and culture of the region so that I can better understand people’s beliefs and lifestyles today. Context is everything, and you learn much more about a people and a place through the things that are important to them.
Looking forward to traveling with you on our group trips!
