The Mission:
A Commitment to Quality

Thirsty Explorer® Travel is committed to delivering outstanding planning and support for your upcoming adventures. Your itinerary will blend iconic landmarks with hidden treasures, tailored to offer personalized experiences that connect you with local cultures and create lasting memories.  


  • Local Drink Specialties - Sip your way through a region's heritage. Vineyard tours in Tuscany, mezcal in Mexico, beer in Portland, scotch in Scotland, Sake in Japan.   Visit the places and meet the craftsmen that create the magic. 
  • Culinary Adventures - Savor the cuisine that's the gateway to the culture.  Kobe beef in Japan, pasta in Italia, patisserie in France ~ love the food and learn the techniques and history behind them. 
  • Cultural Immersion - Festivals, artisan workshops, traditional dance or music are all options. Tea ceremony is Japan? Tango in Argentina? Pottery Class in Morocco?  We can find it ~ and plan it.
In The Heat of Summer... Dream of Magical Christmas Nights, Hot Cider & Mulled Wine.
Christmas on the Rhine is perfect for the wine lover in you!

It's never too early to plan that Christmas cruise!  Is 2026 going to be that special year?  How about that romantic New Years Eve? 🍷🎉
