“The cool wind hit my face at the top of Dead Woman’s Pass. 15,000’ was way out of my comfort zone. I was supported from behind by Jimmy, patiently waiting and encouraging me forward. Ahead, I heard the claps and cries of our Recovery Elevator travel group. 

“When I found travel through RE I knew it was a must, even though frightened and unsure, it exceeded my expectations in every way. I grew not only as an individual living AF but my network circle of like minded people grew.  It’s not just about the travel, it’s the service, the purpose, the soul searching and the friends/family you’ll meet along the way. The strangers I started my journey with ended as family and relationships that will last a lifetime. Never second guess an opportunity with RE travel YOLO.”

“Traveling to Peru with Recovery Elevator was an unforgettable experience, and I’m incredibly grateful I took the leap and stepped outside my comfort zone. The itinerary and group events were seamlessly planned, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the local culture, take part in meaningful service work, and enjoy many fun activities throughout the trip. Hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu was a dream come true, and sharing that journey with such an incredible group of people made it even more special. I felt truly welcomed and walked away with lifelong friendships.”

My time with Recover Elevator in Vietnam was nothing short of life changing. This trip brought together a deep cultural connection, a commitment to sobriety, and unforgettable experiences. We explored areas not among the common tourist spots, learned of the area and its people, and made lifelong connections with our fellow travelers. There was a perfect balance of planned activities and personal time. From the streets of Hanoi, to the jungle of the Pu Luong Nature Reserve and the waters of Hạ Long Bay this adventure was top notch. I came back a better person than when I left. I look forward to Peru and many more Recovery Elevator travels to come.

“I had been looking for a real adventure that incorporated sobriety.  Vietnam had been  on my bucket list for years, and I finally told myself, to just go!. I must be honest, I was scared to death to travel that far to meet a group of strangers.  It was the best decision ever!  The Vietnam experience was filled with safe and culturally relevant adventure travel. It was an absolutely seamless travel experience. Every day was well organized. Sober travel is the way to go. It was the experience of a lifetime, and I’m looking forward to the next sober adventure. “

“Going to Costa Rica with Recovery Elevator was a dream. Everything about the trip was amazing, but traveling and connecting with a group of people whom I knew would only support my sobriety was irreplaceable. I can’t wait for future sober travel with Recovery Elevator! “

“Costa Rica was the adventure I needed! I made loads of connections and new sober friends. Between our excursions, workshops, and games we made lasting bonds while traveling Costa Rica. I would do it again in a heartbeat! “

“I have to say that traveling to a foreign country during the omicron surge brought up some anxiety. I had to talk myself into getting on the plane to San Jose. However once I got there I knew I was safe. I quickly realized Recovery Elevator had it under control. The tour company they hired, G Adventures, planned out the top three sites to see from waterfalls in La Fortuna to zip lining in Monte Verde and topped it off in Manuel Antonio where we spotted some amazing wildlife. Recovery Elevator picked a beautiful country that was inspiring to continue my recovery journey and continue to heal alongside of others desiring the same thing… Sober connection and adventure. The recovery workshops that were included were amazing including my first experience with breath-work. Not only did I feel safe among this group but I felt proud strong and inspired. I’m glad I silenced Bruno and went on this trip – I’m stronger for it and made some amazing memories and sober friends.”
