No. I do not sell low maintenance hair extensions perfect for travelling or long days at the beach. No, my trips are not just for women and no you will not find yourself sitting at a loom or any other textile producing machinery while on a trip that I have designed. Maybe Travel Weave is a little confusing….
Woven Journeys – sounds a little serious and intense, but expands beyond a name to encompass a concept. Weaving volunteer service with travel and fun. Get it? There’s lots of unique elements that go into the design of my trips that make it original… and I’m selling that originality. It’s my personal travel experience combined with hands-on cultural emersion and fun.
I also like the parallel of weaving. It’s symbolic. My trips take people to developing countries where weaving is still a common aspect of the culture. The materials they use; alpaca in the Andes, yaks in the Himalayas, grasses in the Caribbean, plus the patterns, plus the products the dyes are made from are native to their area. Even the materials their looms and tools are constructed out of are local and unique – just like the experiences I design.
Okay, maybe it’s too deep, too abstract, too foreign, but it’s me and I like it. Done!
I love Woven Journeys!!! I'm just getting caught up on your month long saga and am so excited for the name you chose!
