KINDRED SPIRITS The power of travel is incredible, with its ability to unite people from all walks of life and appreciate one another. Only if you keep your eyes and mind closed does your heart not open. Last year, we launched our Enchanting 10 Year Club, to recognize team members who had been with Enchanting for over 10 years. The list was long, and we realized one thing: Enchanting Travels is defined by its people. Regardless of whether we are based in Denver, Munich, Nairobi, Bangalore, Buenos Aires, Cape Town or Delhi, we are a community. A global family of passionate travelers that thrive on sharing the joy of travel with others. In Southern Africa, this is acknowledged by the Zulu phrase of Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu, or a person is a person through other people. Some believe that ubuntu is an actual metaphysical connection between people that promotes selfless acts. In Japan, one of the newest destinations in our Enchanting Travels collection, the term wa, is an integral traditional value that invokes peaceful harmony and unity in society. In India, we have the ancient Sanskrit phrase, Atithi Devo Bhava: Guest is God. When we travel, we witness the interconnectedness between people and strive towards being better, not just to the neighbors that we see, but those far away too. This is an integral part of how Enchanting Travels does business, through our private, tailor-made approach. Our fourth edition of the Enchanting Travels magazine celebrates you, our guests, and how you can integrate with the communities and cultures of our diverse destinations. We also highlight how we are continually working towards being a more responsible travel company. Discovering and embracing kindred spirits. Isn’t that what travel is truly about?
