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

Our next travel trip is to Puerta Vallarta, Mexico in January 2022. Barcelona workshop and touring trip is scheduled for May 2022. We are working on an autumn 2022 trip to another European location. Details soon. You MUST be Covid vaccinated to attend any in-person workshops or to travel with Bonnie Fitzgerald.

Note USA citizens, check your passport expiration date before committing to a trip! It may take as long as 10-14 weeks to get a renewed passport, replacement even longer!

On our European trips many 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. On many of the trips, we create memento art-works along the way in workshops, visit artist studios, and enjoy fine food sampling, wine tastings, and of course see lots of mosaics! Our trips are designed to inspire, educate and entertain. We explore the worlds of art, architecture, archaeology, and natural wonders.

WHAT OUR TRAVELERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT OUR TRIPS:

Every time I try to decide which MM trip I enjoyed the most: SW France, Ireland, Italy/Slovenia, or NW France…there’s no doubt! They were all FAVORITES!  Thank you again for putting together these fully amazing trips! And tour guides of the caliber of Bruno were appreciated too! 

Having been on 4 of Maverick’s trips we have always experienced a perfect balance between structured, educational travel and free time to explore on our own. We also feel we get a better feeling of understanding of the countries we are privileged enough to visit due to your plans to balance ‘tourist’ spots with truly unique ‘hidden gems of the area, which is sincerely appreciated. – Don & Susan

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
