Who We Are
Travel with us. Book with us. Venture beyond with us.
Founded by Joy Packer and Whitney Rawls—travelers who love to explore, celebrate, and experience travel that feels rich in spirit and full of life. Ventures Beyond Travel was born after countless friends kept asking, “When’s the next one?” So we decided to build something for our friends. Something meaningful. A travel company built on soul, excellence, and shared experience.
At Ventures Beyond Travel, we believe group travel should feel like something special—like stepping into a story you’ll never forget. We design experiences that bring people together through culture, connection, and the kind of moments that stay with you long after the trip ends.
We specialize in curated group travel and cruises for travelers who want more than a checklist of sights—they want to connect, feel, and be fully present along the way. By working with our suppliers and industry partners, we take the stress out of travel planning and make it easier for you to enjoy your time away.
We don’t just book trips. We help you to create stories that you’ll talk about for years to come.
