Who we are
At Wellspring Travels, we believe travel is more than a destination—it’s a journey of discovery, connection, and growth (with a lot of adventure and, let’s be honest, probably some snacks).
Travel has the power to deepen our faith, broaden our perspectives, and leave a lasting imprint on who we are. It invites us to step beyond the familiar, immerse ourselves in new experiences, and return home not just with souvenirs, but with stories that change us. But too often, travel is reduced to a checklist—snap a photo, check the box, onto the next.
We’re here to help you go deeper.
At Wellspring Travels, we guide you to move beyond the checklist—to explore with curiosity, engage with purpose, and evolve through every adventure. Whether you’re a seasoned explorer or planning your first big trip, we’re here to be your compass for inspiration, planning, and making every journey one to remember.
So, where will your next adventure take you? Wherever it is — Travel Well.
Our 3 core Principles
Explore
We believe this world was created to be explored, and through that exploration, we are able to stand in awe of the One who created it. Every cascading waterfall we encounter, every color of an autumn forest we walk through, every smiling person we meet on our journeys can bring us to humble gratitude. Travel opens our eyes to the beauty, diversity, and intricate details of God’s creation, reminding us that adventure is a gift meant to be embraced.
Engage
We believe our travels come to life when we are fully present and interacting with the people and places around us. Talk to the local people and learn about their culture. Spend time with fellow travelers. Slow down and take in the moment of a sunset. Savor the flavor of a new cuisine. Be an active participant in the world around you. When we allow ourselves to truly engage, we embrace the play, wonder, and connection that travel naturally brings.
Evolve
We believe the best trips don’t just take us somewhere new—they change us. Evolve is the lasting impact, the shift in perspective, and the way we carry our adventures home with us. Travel has the potential to stretch us in ways we don’t always anticipate—pushing us beyond our comfort zones, and perhaps even redefining our sense of self as we experience the world around us. Every adventure leaves its mark and becomes a part of who we are. Let it.

Planning Your way
Travel planning isn’t one-size-fits-all—for some, the journey begins long before takeoff. Researching destinations, mapping out itineraries, and crafting the perfect trip is part of the adventure. For others? They’d rather skip the logistics and let someone else handle the details while they focus on getting excited or figuring out how to pack without exceeding the baggage limit — don’t worry we have ideas for that too).
At Wellspring Travels, we believe in moving beyond the checklist—because travel should be more than just ticking off landmarks and collecting passport stamps. Whether you prefer to map out every detail yourself or let us curate the perfect itinerary for you, the goal is the same: to create meaningful, immersive experiences that leave a lasting impact.
No matter how you plan, we focus on intentional travel—helping you explore with curiosity, engage with purpose, and evolve through every adventure.
