WHO ARE WE?

The Roaming Republic is a group travel community, founded in 2018, that curates experiences for like-minded travellers in search of a community to call home. We have travelled to Thailand, Bali, Costa Rica, Colombia, Morocco, South Africa, Trinidad and more to curate unique travel experiences like no other. We believe that the concept of home should not be limited to a location or a series of walls but instead, it should be cultivated in the community, atmosphere and experiences we create wherever we go. We are a growing collective of global citizens learning how to carry home within us to the destinations we travel.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?

When you travel with The Roaming Republic, you become apart of the official roamer family. This means you’ll become a part of a life-long community of travel friends turned family. Through our curated travel experiences, we aim to encourage roamers to do more than just pass through a country but instead, learn how to make a home of the places we visit. We do this by housing our roamers in large villas as opposed to hotels (with some exceptions), including culturally immersive experiences in all trips, organizing give back elements to the countries we visit and involving roamers in the planning process of their itinerary, themed parties and photoshoots. Our aim is to cultivate a family-like vibe on our trips from the moment you meet your group. Our roamers leave our trips having formed new genuine, life-long bonds with their fellow roamers, creating a memorable travel experience like no other.

 HOW WE DEFINE OUR TRIPS

Trips are categorized by “Trip Style”. We categorize our trips as a guideline for roamers to make more informed decisions when choosing a trip. For the most part, you can except to experience: cultural immersion, beautiful accommodations and turn up and all of our trips. But some trips have a little more emphasis on one element than the others. All of our trips welcome solo travellers and couples alike!

This is how we break it down:

TRAP TRIPS

These are your traditional RR trips. The emphasis is on turning up, experiencing luxury in accommodations and overall experience. Itineraries are not so jam packed, with more down time for partying and more wild/adventurous excursions. Roamers who come on these trips generally come for the fun they will experience with the group more than anything and spend little to no time sleeping. Trap trips still include our signature elements like give backs and at least two culturally immersive experiences - because it wouldn’t be an RR trip without those. For trap trips, we focus on locations that offer luxury, and a cultural experience, with enough comforts to make you feel at home (think Bali, Thailand, Colombia). Look for the “Trap Trip” tag on trips, if this sounds like your kind of experience.

IMMERSION EXCURSIONS

These trips have an entire focus on immersing in the local culture and community. Partying still happens (cause it wouldn’t be an RR trip without it) but these trips generally have more packed itineraries with experiences that allow you to feel immersed in the culture. Roamers who come on these trips, while also here for the community aspect, value their immersive experience in a new country more than anything. They want to leave with a well-rounded experience of the country. For immersion excursions, we focus on countries that push you out of your comfort zone (think South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania). Look for the “Immersion Excursion” tag on trips, if this sounds like your kind of experience.

Note: Many of our trips fall into both categories, some with an emphasis on one more than the other. So you will see both tags on some trips. If you’re unsure if a trip is right for you, get in touch with us and we’ll give you more information!
