Work on monday group travels
Join us! We love helping people explore the world! We are especially passionate about helping full-time workers see the world! We’ve maintained a balance between our full-time “regular jobs” and travel since 2017 and want to help you do the same! However, everyone is invited; full-time workers or not! Anyone who is wanting to travel, but doesn’t have anyone to travel with or anyone who simply wants to experience the fun of traveling with a small group is more than welcome to join as well!
About the Egypt Trip!

We haven’t experienced Egypt yet, so come and see it for the very first time with us! We will start in Cairo, exploring the Pyramids of Giza and Sphinx, visit the Nubian Village with a traditional dinner, sail down the Nile on a traditional felucca, and explore the Valley of the Kings.
