Northwest Arkansas is growing faster than any other city in the region. The area has welcomed visitors from all around the world, but we are also due to explore the outside. Many have said that the world is coming to NWA, but we need to engage and invest outside of here too. To help with this, Sevin Travels is ready to help guide you on your next investment of a dream trip. Founder Sevin Gallo is a college world history professor and a group travel expert. She thrives at showing others how popular culture intersects with national identity and politics while joining you on your trip to guide you and ease the stress of planning. Group travel adventures are one of the ways Sevin enjoys showing her peers the benefits of traveling. Having international experience is very important and will teach you more about yourself than you would imagine. Going with someone local to NWA with this experience, like Sevin, is a way to connect with those around you and trust who you are with.
Some popular destinations that Sevin Travels has helped locals go to include Greece, Europe, Portugal, and diving trips in Croatia. Typically, a round-trip group would include around 16-22 people. A variety of ages are welcome on these voyages, from those in their 20's to 80’s. The word of mouth in NWA has allowed those to join in on a trip with friends and family. The boutique travel company has taken groups of friends on birthdays, anniversaries, and even a New Year's Eve chartered yacht trip in the Maldives. The trends Sevin has seen the most in the Northwest Arkansas region include Italy, Morocco, Argentina, and even some interested in African safari trips. Having such a large group travelling together not only fosters memories but also creates shared experiences for everyone to bond over making it easier to get out of your comfort zone. Having international experience is also a great investment into networking skills, and is known to stick out to employers in job interviews. Research has shown that you have a better chance of getting hired if you have traveled somewhere exciting and can elaborate on what it taught you. One of Sevin's most memorable trips was during Covid-19 when she and a friend who had terminal cancer were able to book a lifelong dream of going to Africa. Not only did they get to travel during the pandemic, but she got to make a very special memory with her friend.
As for the future of travel, trends show that “glamping” in the Sahara Desert, Japan, and India will top many bucket lists. Here in the Ozarks, we’ve long embraced the beauty of camping, but now could be the time to take that love for the outdoors to stunning destinations around the world. Adventure is calling, and Sevin Travels is ready to help you answer.
