Frequently Asked Questions

Our trips are best suited for women who are in good physical condition. The activities can be moderately strenuous, such as kayaking or hiking 3-6 miles, but are always optional. Participants should also be able to lift up to 50 lbs independently (i.e. carry your own luggage), climb stairs, walk on very uneven surfaces, and be able to swim. We will do our best to accommodate any disabilities or physical limitations but are often at the mercy of the logistics of the countries we visit.

The price of the trip usually includes accommodations, airport transfers, most transportation within the destination, some meals, and group activities (there are usually some extra, optional activities as well). Jodi leads each trip herself, with an assistant added as necessary. Double or triple-occupancy lodging is included. If you are traveling solo we will match you with another traveler.

 We do not include airfare, travel insurance, any non-specified meals, extra options like massages, or tips for tour guides. These are up to the traveler to provide for. 

Accommodations vary greatly depending on the country or location we are in. We have stayed in up to a 3-star property and also slept in jungle cabanas. It is best to keep an open mind and look forward to a great adventure.  

Activities vary greatly depending on the country or location we are in. Photos of past trip activities can be seen on our “Past Trips” page (link page). We try to include a variety of cultural, nature-based, adventurous, and volunteer-centric activities. 

These are fairly fast-paced trips with some downtime built in. Expedition: Humanitarian is not a leisurely resort vacation. We are there to experience as much as possible during our time. This often means moving around from place to place, being flexible, and finding comfort in new experiences. Check out our trip itineraries on our "Upcoming Trips" page for an example of our trip pace.
