Artful Travel

Travel enriches who we are. On Maverick Travel trips I have learned countless history lessons, gained political insights, learned about cultural achievements and experienced some of most beautiful works of art, natural wonders and amazing human beings. Pinch me moments. Bonnie Fitzgerald, 2018

Many of the daily adventures on Maverick Travel trips are UNIQUE, one-of-a-kind opportunities with some components not available to the public. We offer intimate hassle free travel, professional escorts and university educated guides, wonderful accommodations, and street-level cultural engagement based in the world of art, architecture and archaeology. We make memento art-works along the way in workshops, visit artist studios, and enjoy fine food sampling, wine tastings and of course mosaics! Our trips are designed to inspire, educate and entertain. We explore the worlds of art, architecture, archaeology and natural wonders. All of our trips are grounded in a sense of community, and often the community of mosaic art.

Maverick’s inaugural international trip to Paris and the Lorie Valley in France (2013) and our other adventures to Spain (2014), Italy (2015 & 2018), Southwest France (2016) and Ireland (2017) were all amazing, thanks in large part to the expertise and planning of our travel and logistics partner A La Carte Travel.

With Bonnie and Ken we all were taken care of and enjoyed a superior sensory, intellectual, and emotional experience.  My feet are still floating above the ground. Thank you Bonnie and Ken for another life treat. — Camy
