I asked Event Premiere for a loan of about $700 since I had no access to my credit cards or to an ATM. They came through immediately even though I had only used them that one time, they had no history with me. Someone came to my hotel the next morning with the cash in CUC which is the currency used by tourists in Cuba. It is a good thing to have someone like that that you can turn to in case something like that happens. If they hadn't come through I don't know what I would have done.

We visited a chef's home who gave us a cooking lesson and then were able to enjoy the fruits of our labor. My wife's special interest was in the Afro-Cuban religions and we were able to go to a home and learn about the background of this culture. Our last day took us to the tobacco plantation in Vinales, a two hour trip outside of Havana. we were able to observe the start to finish production of the famed Cuban cigar. Veronique arranged for us to live in our own apartment in Old Havana, an absolute must see for anyone going to Cuba. A very unique trip indeed.

Every detail was covered and planned for us, from transportation, to meals and reservations at exceptional restaurants, to exclusive tours of attractions. There was not one mediocre meal, much less a bad one, at any of the restaurants suggested by Laura. If I didn't know better, I'd believe she even ordered the exceptional weather we enjoyed for our entire week. I am already scheming about my next vacation and you can be assured that I will ALWAYS go to The Trip Trotter to guide me and to plan it for me.

We are happy we chose her as our celebrant (honestly, I knew immediately after interviewing that she was the right fit). We held a small ceremony on a sailboat off Manhattan and Larissa performed a ceremony which reflected us. The process of writing the ceremony was easy and she worked collaboratively to make edits. She was even able to give me recommendations for hair and makeup a few days before the wedding. The day of the ceremony, she went above and beyond and actually helped us to decorate the boat. We think very few officiants would have been so helpful and easygoing. It is clear she enjoys officiating weddings with her constant smiles. I recommend her to anyone who wants a stress free and happy celebrant experience. Larissa is great!

Besides her incredible accent, she took her time explaining what a celebrant is/does, the process involved that she takes her clients through and answered any and all questions we had. We knew we wanted our ceremony to be intimate and have our guests feel the incredible love and authentic happiness that we had for each other and Larissa did that and more! Throughout the planning process, Larissa got to know us both as individuals and as a couple. Getting to know who we were, what our story was, and other details about our lives, helped Larissa write an amazing and incredibly touching ceremony script. She captured and told our love story perfectly and even made guests who never shed a tear cry! We may have only known Larissa for a short time while planning the wedding, but it was as if she was our closest friend. Two months later, our guests are still talking about how incredible and sentimental our ceremony was and how they wished they knew Larissa when they had gotten married. We still keep in touch with Larissa and plan to in the future. She truly cares about you and treats your wedding as if it was her own. We cannot thank her enough for making our wedding day and the planning process for the ceremony so memorable. You will not regret choosing Larissa to officiate your ceremony!! She is genuine and professional and incredible at what she does. Your ceremony may only be a small portion of your wedding day, but it is the most important moment of that day and Larissa will ensure that it will be unique, personal, and beyond what you could even envision so that it is perfection.

For those who like a more detailed review - If you are looking to travel the world, meet new people, volunteer, immerse yourself into another culture, practice yoga, learn about yourself, and experience the adventure of a lifetime, then WTA is right for you! I was referred to WTA through a friend of a friend that I had never met before. I was a little apprehensive, but I loved everything that WTA said their trips were about and was open to the adventure. I can honestly say that the WTA Bali trip exceeded my expectations in every way possible. Marina and Jorge are incredible people who love the world and all the good people in it. They want their volunteers to have the best experience possible and they did not disappoint! My advice - If you have read WTA's website and you like what their trips are about, sign up for a trip. You will not regret it. Be open to meeting new people and listening to their stories, immersing yourself in another culture, reflecting on your life, and seeing the world through another lens. I loved every second of the WTA Bali trip and can't wait to book my next trip! WARNING - You may fall in love with traveling with a purpose and never be able to travel any other way again.

During the course of my research, I stumbled across the World Travelers Association and began following their work. Shortly after, Jorge Branco (the founder of the organization) reached out to me to advise of the next trip that was being planned - that was the beginning of something beautiful. Two months later, I found myself in Portugal with a group of well-rounded adventurers interested in the same things as me, looking for purpose and adventure. I was the only girl but the group really looked out for me and ensured that I was safe and having fun the entire time. What was experienced out there is truly indescribable. We surfed, rock-climbed, rode Segways, rode bikes along the coast, viewed historical viewpoints, and even attended a medieval festival that was at an actual castle. Most importantly, we volunteered at an organization for underprivileged youth and were able to actually make a difference. Leaving Portugal, I have never felt more inspired to do more, be more, and get involved in something bigger. The World Traveler's Association played a huge part in that and I will be forever grateful. I joined the organization with hopes of adventuring and making a difference, I didn't expect to make lifelong friends in the process - now I have accomplished both and cannot wait for the next big adventure!
