DreamTrips Gets a Facebook-Lift

Before you start packing your bags for your next DreamTrips adventure, check out Facebook!

Now, you can find all of the must-know information about your DreamTrip on Facebook, with the introduction of the Facebook events pages. View your DreamTrip’s itinerary, connect with the DreamTrips team, get recommendations, make plans with friends, and find out details about hosted parties (if applicable).

Plus, once your DreamTrip is over, you can connect with new friends, upload your favorite snapshots, share your memories and continue enjoying your DreamTrip.

We’ll send you a link to your DreamTrip’s Facebook page in the first letter you receive from the DreamTrip’s coordinator, about two weeks before your departure date, so be on the lookout!

DreamTrip with a Purpose

Now, you can get a taste of the VolunTour DreamTrip experience—without taking a full-fledged VolunTour—with new half-day Service Excursions on select DreamTrips!

Support communities in need; experience the satisfaction of a job well done; and receive the best kind of “thank you”: the smile of a child—all while you’re on a DreamTrip! The newly re-named WorldVentures Foundation will organize the half-day excursions in partnership with a local nonprofit, ensuring your DreamTrip allows you to give back.

If a Service Excursion is added, the DreamTrip’s coordinator will send you an email with a description of the excursion, along with details and how to sign up.

Or, if you want to take a full-fledged VolunTour DreamTrip, check out a few of our upcoming VolunTours and visit your DreamTrips website for complete listings and availability!

Discover a new way to vacation. Discover VolunTour DreamTrips and Service Excursions—and the life you change may just be your own.

Meet Helena Achilleos, DreamTrips Host

DreamTrips host Helena Achilleos says she’s living life to the fullest, thanks to DreamTrips. “I have a dream job, travel the world and meet the most amazing people (our DreamTrippers) from all over,” Helena says. “It’s great to be on a DreamTrip in Greece and meet DreamTrippers from the United States commemorating their first DreamTrip or honeymoon, ladies from Poland and England celebrating a bachelorette party, and a couple from Zimbabwe seeing Europe for the first time. We share memories that will last a lifetime, and that’s why I love being a DreamTrips host!”

Helena lives in Larnaca, Cyprus, with her husband of 33 years, Achilleos, not far from Famagusta, where she was born and raised until being forced to leave during the 1974 Turkish invasion. She relocated to northern Cyprus, studied travel and tourism in Limassol and now speaks fluent English and German, in addition to her mother language of Greek.

Experiencing more than 80 DreamTrips in the last 3 years, including locations throughout Europe and Asia, Helena says she loves touring the Greek Islands and looks forward to hosting a Mediterranean cruise soon.
