A word about Gaia

The word Gaia comes from Greek mythology. According to Greek legend, she was the goddess that drew the living world (earth) forth from chaos. Additionally, a British biologist, by the name of James Lovelock while working with NASA, coined the phrase the "Gaia Hypothesis". His premise simply put is that Gaia, the earth, is a living self-regulating, self-evolving bio-system.

In searching for an appropriate name for our company, we felt that Gaia was a perfect fit with our own philosophy. Our itineraries are designed with a proposal to enrich and enhance the lives of the participants; through experiencing the natural beauty of our planet and interacting with cultures sometimes very different than our own. It becomes an opportunity to realize our connection to all of life, that in and of itself is transformational and we at Gaia Destinations stand for nothing short of that.

As a team, we are committed to providing the highest standards of service in our programs and share with each traveler our unique way of discovering the world. Welcome!

Sincerely,

Andrea A. Tessore
Director
