Reviews & Testimonials

Lisa R. shares her unforgettable experience living in Paris, France, with The Good Life Abroad.

I feel completely safe and supported during my Good Life Abroad experience—more than any other trip I’ve been on. The staff is always there to help, and their quick response gives me peace of mind.

Margo F. shares her thoughts on the unmatched safety and support she experienced during her stay in Paris

“What appealed to me most was the idea of staying somewhere for 30 days. It felt almost too good to be true, but the glowing reviews reassured me—and the experience exceeded all my expectations.”

As a solo traveler, I expected to explore venues and dine alone, trying to connect with people around me. However, having this group with us was so unexpected and the best part about it. It felt like a built-in community.”

It’s hard to say what I liked the most about the experience, each thing that we did was wonderful. Siena was amazing with Martina and the Architecture tour with Giacomo was incredible… but so was the cooking class, the art class, the museum tours, wine tasting, lunches and happy hours!

The Good Life Abroad has opened my mind to semi-group traveling, allowing me to bond with people from all over the world while enjoying the freedom of solo adventures.

Staying in one place for a month with The Good Life Abroad is priceless. This coordinated immersion helps us quickly find the best spots and fully enjoy the local culture.

On Building Community During Their Travels with The Good Life Abroad

How The Good Life Abroad Builds Confidence and Community as a Solo Traveler

Support of local experts and fellow travelers. Expert advice on dining, getting around, local events and safety. Help with health issues as they arose. The social aspect and camaraderie of fellow participants was a big plus. Lunches and happy hours, belt making, tours of the surrounding area (Siena was a special highlight). Flexibility on the part of Giacomo and Martina to include visiting families. All in all, this program exceeded our expectations.

The formula for The Good Life Abroad is excellent. The fluid social interactions, wonderful tour offering, and ability to mix structure and independence was excellent. Our guides were amazing, and the company was very responsive to any questions or concerns during our stay (which were minimal due to the The Good Life Abroad’s great planning)

Meeting the people of like mind with adventure and enthusiasm to discover a new country was the highlight of my trip. I met fantastic women and gentlemen. The arranged activities, tours, lunches, and classes were wonderful. It was exactly what I was looking for without being on a totally organized tour. It gave us some structure along with individual freedom to make out experiences fabulous. I will definitely be on future trips!

Lisbon’s relaxed atmosphere and friendly locals make it perfect for travelers. Everything we need is within a few minutes’ walk from our waterfront apartment.
