GoneVoyage
"Everyday should feel like a dream"
Founded in 1956, GoneVoyage was started by Melissa Garcia and Maureen Anali Rendon Madrigal. They were only teenagers in High School and dreamed of traveling the world. Because they were unexperienced travelers, they looked to make their traveling safe and comfortable. After their various encounters with busy airports and scary big airplanes, they decided to start their own business. These inspiring innovative minds wanted others to experience the joy of traveling the world without being afraid and without having to go out of their comfort zone. With reasonable prices and promotions, GoneVoyage has received many five-star reviews from experienced and unexperienced travelers.
