Why Travel With Marta?

A collection of adventures that are made to inspire you to step outside of your comfort zone safely and have a once in a lifetime experience. Marta invites you to join her on one of her intimate adventures, or empower you to take one of your own.

In 2004, Marta began her internal journey of self-discovery by facing her fear of flying, stepping on a plane, jetting off overseas to join a volunteer project. She was 23 years old, heartbroken from a recent loss, and terrified.

Her first solo adventure was a tomb excavation in the South of Sicily for a month where the world opened her eyes to a new way of living. She began to heal her heart, and see that the world was bigger than her problems, and full of people to learn from. After that experience, she was hooked going on another adventure, and another. Everything from helping to rebuild a 10th century castle in France, sea turtle preservation in Costa Rica, scuba diving to save reefs and restoring housing for the impoverished in Portugal, Dolphin and whale preservation studies in Italy, and diving for the lost treasure of the Atocha. Whatever called to her, Marta was hooked on traveling with meaning and specifically traveling alone to meet different cultures, people and rediscover different parts of herself.

Explorative Travel is one of the four pillars of Marta’s recovery of self after loss, and to travel within is the ultimate journey of life. Marta loves helping others push past that fear of the unknown and turn towards new adventures after loss. She believes in the power of stepping outside of your comfort zone and discovering the world to get a fresh perspective.

Whether inspiring clients for their own travel adventures with private consultation sessions, or taking them along for her own adventures, Marta uses her experience to aid people in not just saving time and money on pinpointing where they want their next trip to be, but the ultimate reason they are taking it, and how they can overcome fear through empowerment.

Join one of her planned trips, book a call with her, or rent your own boat. She has you covered if you feeling that call to move and explore.

Testimonials

 5/5

“I had the unique experience to work with Marta for the first time during her Yoga Sailing cruise in Greece. The energy that she has is simply amazing. It was exactly what I needed for my first one on one with her. She was patient, gentle with my emotions and helped me find some places where I was still feeling blocked. I can't suggest her services enough!”

“I cannot rave enough about Marta. She went above and beyond to make sure we all had an incredible experience. From helping us navigate travel to helpful tips and tricks for sailboat life to just being an incredible human that I wanted to spend a vacation with, Marta's chill vibes and love of exploring and finding fun things to do made her the perfect travel companion. My only complaint is that now I want to travel with her anywhere she goes!”

“If you’re looking for ways to improve your mental, physical and/or spiritual health sign up for Marta’s classes, retreats, workshops, trips, etc. I promise you will leave the experience feeling better about yourself and the world in general.”

“As someone who does not do yoga or meditation regularly, I was hesitant to go on a yoga retreat… but not only was the entire group absolutely amazing, Marta was so accommodating to every skill level and made the environment so comfortable and approachable. I felt like Marta lead me on an incredible journey both mentally and physically and I could not have had a better teacher to guide me.”
