            My husband and I are both travel writers. We have been using the Exotic Journey's services since 2011 for many truly exotic destinations, such as Africa, (*****, ********, ********, **********), Asia (********, *****, *******, ********, *****, *****, ******, ****), ************* (******, *********) - and this is not a full list! Needless to say, we consider ourselves lucky that many years ago we "discovered" Exotic Journeys! Both founders and owners, **** and ****, are professionals to the core: they are able to understand and respond to all our research and travel needs and wants. When working on our itineraries and booking with Exotic Journeys, we are absolutely sure that this *******-based company will be closely following our "trajectory" during our many trips all over the globe. They and their associates in various countries will immediately respond to and take care of any unexpected changes or cancellations of flights during our trips, so we would be able to seamlessly continue with our work. We always strongly recommend the Exotic Journeys to our professional colleagues and personal friends. ***** and ***********************. August 2023.
