Gen-X Travel Club specializes in non-touristy, responsible, small group trips to destinations all over the world!

Below are the features of our exclusive, super cool Gen X trips. If they resonate with you, then you're at the right place to book your future vacation!

GEN X TRAVELERS

Short for Generation X, we use a very broad definition of Gen X. We simply want to bring together people who are around the same general age. For us, Gen X is not only an age bracket, but also a state of mind! So don't worry if you're teetering on the edges of Gen X as an old soul or a young spirit.

Our travelers are both singles and couples, empty nesters or have never had kids. They want to get out and see the world while making lasting friendships along the way. We often end up laughing our way through trips while making meaningful connections to the people and places we are visiting. We prefer being active! We love walking, hiking, kayaking and cycling our way around destinations. We are respectful to each other and to the communities we visit! Our overall goal is to bring together like-minded folks who have a similar adventurous mindset, are fun-loving, and kind in spirit.

SMALL GROUPS

We travel in small groups - each trip is limited to 10-16 people. No big buses or nightmare logistics that would negatively impact your experience or the communities we are visiting. However, this size still offers the benefit of offering high-quality trips that will cost less than if you were traveling on your own. In a small group, we get to experience many things such as traveling off the beaten track, having more local sightseeing options, and the ability to be more spontaneous and flexible as we go along.

And we see places that perhaps you wouldn’t visit as an independent traveler because you simply may not know about them or have access. Plus our groups are the perfect size to mix, mingle and make new friendships!

NON-TOURISTY

Non-touristy meaning that we don’t just offer the usual, unimaginative trips where you and a bunch of travel companions head off to hit up the same heavily visited tourist attractions and routes as everyone else. We are all about high-quality trips with thoughtful itineraries to intriguing destinations.

We travel to cool, interesting destinations around the world. There are a lot of hidden gems out there that travelers don’t get the opportunity to experience because they aren’t typically offered on the standard buffet of touristy travel destinations. We take the time to find these cool places with lots of character and share it with you. And, even if we visit a well-traveled destination, we thoughtfully select a mix of truly important sights and less traveled, local places and activities. Our custom trips are designed just for us!

On a Gen X Travel Club trip, you’re treated to personal, exclusive experiences exploring with locals and experiencing the best of that destination. You feel as though you’re on a trip visiting a friend in another country who is showing you around — pointing out the most relevant historical sights and interesting attractions, taking you to their favorite restaurants, sharing with you local, special experiences, and introducing you to other friendly residents. You really get to know and learn about the destination you’re visiting including its people, culture and attractions.

RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL

We are highly dedicated to traveling responsibly. We do this by supporting local businesses and being respectful of their communities including their culture and people. We travel in a small group staying at independently-operated accommodations, eating at locally-owned restaurants, and using local guides and transportation services. With this approach, the local community benefits from tourism jobs, and the money we spend goes directly into the communities we visit. In addition to patronizing locally-owned businesses, we strive to support businesses who follow eco-friendly practices. The bottom line is that we care about the communities we visit and we work hard to keep a low impact.
