Tour Security & Safety

In the last 15 years, geo-political issues have created increased concerns for travelers to many global destinations.  One of our primary goals is to provide an option to our clients that allows them to enjoy traveling without the added worry and stress of attempting to monitor potential security issues or travel safety.  We deliver this added peace-of-mind and guidance before and during our international group adventures by providing departure updates and instructions as well as having an on-location security professional accompanying each tour.  Adding this advisory "safety net" allows us to travel to key important metaphysical sites and destinations in regions where solo travel might require heightened vigilance and attention to security concerns.

Our primary detail leader and security consultant is Tim Cash.  Mr. Cash most recently served as the Senior Detail Leader on the Department of State, Diplomatic Security Service High Threat Protection Mission to Iraq at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.
