“For years it has been on my bucket list to tour SE Asia. The second I saw Susan’s Gems of SE Asia Tour, I called and put my deposit down. The tour was amazing. 19 of us were on the move through Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. Magical at times. Mysterious at times. Eye-opening at times and in the end life-changing! How does she do it? She does it with a clear focus. Susan delivers on her promises. If issues emerged, she was there to resolve them. Her commitment to growth, fun, and integrity guarantees that a trip with Susan will be a show-stopper.” – Steph Heilakka, Furlong P
“Just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to you for making our unforgettable, truly spectacular trip to THE AZORES, PORTUGAL happen for all of us! It really was a once in a lifetime experience — sublime in more ways than I ever could have imagined, and it is safe to say that without your help and perseverance, none of this would have happened…I hope that you feel rewarded and appreciated for all of your efforts and good will. Sincerely, thank you :)” – Greg Bortnichak, Erwinna PA
“Going into the BAJA GRAY WHALES experience I had no expectations, only that I was sure I wanted to see whales up close, sleep in a tent on a remote beach, and share that with my dear friend. What I have come away with is a lifetime of wonderful memories with the whales—and also sharing this experience with incredible people. I LOVE that we all came from various backgrounds and life experiences, and we all now have a common thread that will bond us forever. I hold each and every new friend and the whales close to my heart.” — Debbie Brooks-Snyder, West Linn OR
“When I booked the BIMINI, BAHAMAS trip, it was because I was trying to heal after a very hard period in my life. I had searched online to find a dolphin retreat, and luckily, found this one. I have always loved dolphins, turquoise waters, and this seemed perfect. Little did I know what I was in for! Bimini is an amazing and magical place. The locals are friendly and gentle, the water is beautiful, and there is so much to do there. The dolphins are gentle, kind animals that graced us with their presence time after time. I spent as much time as possible in the water with them, and it was never enough. The staff on this trip became like family. They were pleasant and personable. Not at all like a commercial trip. And the added bonus? The people in our group were an amazing bunch. I have learned so much-about Bimini, the dolphins, and a wide variety of things from my fellow group members. My only regret is that our magical trip passed by so quickly. I highly recommend this dolphin retreat and would like to repeat this journey again soon!” – Laurence Chriqui, Montreal
“The trip to CUBA was an absolutely magical time-travel experience. We stayed in Old Havana, across from the Malecon, the broad avenue along the waterfront with waves splashing over the sea wall. Watching the divine golden sunsets while drinking mojitos was delightful!! The beautiful architecture with so many influences—Spanish, Moorish, French, Art-Deco, Baroque—just to name a few, gave the city so much vitality and also made me feel so nostalgic for the past. Hemingway’s hotel hang-out, the Hotel Nacional and the Trocadero were just a few of the places we visited. The best part was cruising through the streets in vintage convertibles with handsome drivers, with great music blasting! Havana—ooh na na, half my heart is in Havana ooh na na!!!!” – Judy Rossman, PA
“I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to COSTA RICA with Susan Duval’s group. It was well organized with interesting tours, well-appointed hotels and beautiful scenery. Starting in the capitol, San Jose we were able to take an informative city tour that revealed the beauty of the city and explained the colorful and rich history of Costa Rica. We then traveled to the interior of the country to experience the natural beauty of the rain forest, tour a coffee and pineapple plantation and relax in the heavenly thermal springs. The highlights for me were seeing a mother and baby sloth in its natural environment while on a river cruise and walking down 500 steps to a magnificent waterfall where we could swim. It was quite a memorable experience and I would highly recommend Susan’s trips.” – BB, Jamison PA
“As an experienced traveler, my coastal CROATIA trip is tops on my list! Susan’s personal attention to every detail in the trip planning was what made it a truly full and engaging experience.
* stopping in the many towns along the Adriatic coast allowed us to enjoy the medieval history of the area as well as modern day city life.
* free time for shopping, sunning ourselves on the rocky coast, swimming in the glistening sea, farmers markets, climbing steep medieval walled fortresses to a view that was outstanding!
* fabulous food, wine, music was enjoyed every day with our new, fun, like-minded friends making for a lifetime of happy memories!
Beautiful Croatia has so much to offer that you will want to return over and over again!” – Barb, Warrington PA
“What a superb trip we had to Ecuador’s highlands and the GALAPAGOS. Something, a year ago, we did not imagine we would ever do. We still find it hard to believe such a wonderful time would be had doing it. The guides were wonderful, the boat and crew were wonderful and especially the people we shared it with were wonderful. Thank you all for contributing to the trip of a lifetime!” – Henry Dusenbury, Grand Junction CO
“Thanks so much, Susan for putting the GRAND TETON, WY trip together! It was awesome! Such a beautiful and majestic place! The rafting trip was the BEST!!” Thank you, thank you, thank you for the break from reality that I so needed! I came back refreshed, recharged and restores!” – Marianne H., King of Prussia PA
“The experiences from the MT SHASTA, CA trip are nothing short of miraculous – not only for me, but for so many of the others who attended. I can’t say enough about it!! Gene Ang introduced many meditative styles to help open the heart and the Third Eye. His contact meditations were great—I didn’t realize such interaction with interdimensional beings was possible! Susan Duval is an extraordinary host who made sure everything ran smoothly, so we were free to enjoy beautiful Mt Shasta and the surroundings in a relaxed and carefree way.” – Susan Pie, Hamilton NJ
“I really enjoyed the NEW MEXICO retreat, especially the outdoors parts like the hot mineral springs in Ojo Caliente, Christ in the Desert Monastery, and the hike to the mica mine.” – Yvonne, Ireland
“Susan’s trip to PERU was one of several I’ve taken with her. It was all-around amazing. Her customer service is superb, and she is adept at organizing both the large picture and the small details. The carefully planned historical sites, magical outdoor adventures, mystical experiences, wonderful food and esprit de corps that developed with our small group under her leadership was outstanding. I’ve taken many trips internationally over the years – nobody does it better!” – Nancy O’Sullivan, Lynnfield MA
“Susan Duval has a knack for putting together the BEST travel itinerary, along with the BEST small group of people. I did an 11 day tour of PORTUGAL with Susan and it did not disappoint. We started in Porto, with a day trip to the Douro Valley and wine tasting, along with an amazing al fresco lunch overlooking the valley. Then on to Coimbra, Fatima, Nazare, Sintra, Lisbon, Cascais, Lagos. The days were packed full of adventure, but still time to relax and explore on our own at times. I will definitely travel with Susan again. I must admit that I was a bit apprehensive about traveling with a group of strangers, but I was proved wrong from the very beginning. Now I have new people in my life that I can call friends.” – Allan Wood, Treasure Island FL
“Thank you, Susan, and thank you all! I believe it will take time to process all the wonderful memories and light-filled pathways created in my brain! SCOTLAND is magical! And this group was extraordinary. May you all be blessed with new insights, healing, and reinvigorated energy!” – Michelle Salazar, Colorado
“The workshop with Gene Ang and the travel to SEDONA, AZ was definitely one of the best things my husband and I ever did. The energy and lectures were phenomenal. I have started to integrate many of the teachings into my daily life, as well into my practice with my clients. I feel tremendous changes in my overall well-being taking place. I highly recommend this retreat and will definitely attend future ones!” – Karin and Jason Hirsch, Cherry Hill NJ
“Such fun and camaraderie! Susan, I am so grateful to you for bringing us all together. The UTAH trip was one of the best, and all day I’ve been processing all of the special moments with truly lovely people! What a fantastic time! Hope to see you all again!” – Judy Rossman, Ottsville PA
