The year 2022 is going to be a big year full of PhotoFly Adventures and this fall we can’t wait to finally take our travel club to Israel & Jordan. The pandemic might have pushed it back a couple of times, but we’re determined to get us to the mystical lands of Israel filled with so much history, iconic religious artifacts, and stunning landscapes. Then on to Jordan, the epicenter of thriving Middle East living, home to a remarkable red desert loved by Hollywood, and Petra, a wonder of the world that must be experienced at least once in your life! More details below…
Make your first adventure in 2022 a colorful one. Filled with world-renowned music & dance, vintage cars, a tumultuous history, and thriving arts scene, Cuba is a land with one foot stuck in the 1950’s. Unique photography opportunities are around every corner and found nowhere else on the planet! 4 Spots Left!
STILL 2 spots available on our All Inclusive Costa Rica Safari coming up this spring. Our 2021 adventure was a blast and went off without a hitch. Don’t miss out this time!
Spectacular Spain had been sold out for months but with a few cancellations last week, we now have space for more. We suspect these spots will be gone in no time so sign up here ASAP!
All Inclusive Kauai available again! One of our female guests is looking for someone to replace her. Contact us ASAP if you want to be the one to explore the multitude of wonders on Hawaii’s “Garden Isle” with us (female share only).
2 spots opened up on our one-of-a-kind Australia Adventure. The land down under was also sold out for months so they won’t be available for long!

Travel Club Update: COVID-19
PhotoFly Travel Club takes our current global pandemic extremely seriously. As such, a number of our 2020 and 2021 adventures have had to be cancelled & postponed like most in our travel industry. We want nothing more than all of our members to stay healthy & happy during these trying times. We hope everyone is playing their part by social distancing as much as possible. The more people who properly follow this crucial tactic in our country, and everyone around the world, the faster we will conquer and come out stronger & better prepared when this happens again.
As of today, we remain hopeful that travel will become feasible and safe again for most travelers early next year. In fact many countries, including most of Europe, have been on the decline for months now. It’s important to acknowledge that these are mainly countries that have enacted strict social distancing measures much sooner and in a more timely manner than the USA has been able to. Good news is most of the countries on our upcoming calendar fit this description! For more details about the predictions and scientific modeling in each state AND many countries around the world go here: https://covid19.healthdata.org/ (you can select any state or country for the location specific predictions)
Enhanced Procedures & Safety Measures
As we get ready to explore the world with you again soon, our travel club has begun to implement new guidelines and practices for the “Post-Covid World”. Some of them are listed below. Safety is #1 and the ability to experience a destination without limitations due to the pandemic is #2
b. Sanitizer available at all times/ Surface Cleanings done constantly
c. Social distancing practices as much as possible & no contact health/temperature checks
d. Small Groups Only = Lower Risk. Only time will tell and we’re following the situation very carefully. Our pledge is to share nothing but scientific evidence and advice given by the CDC and World Health Organization (WHO). We will base our decisions in the coming months solely on these two sources.
We know this is going to be a difficult time for all of us, in a myriad of ways. PhotoFly Travel Club is committed to building amazing experiences for years to come. We will get through this together and come out on the other side with even more amazing trips.
We wish everyone nothing but the best navigating this crisis. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all to remain healthy and persevere until we overcome.
Much love and gratitude to all of our members,
Steve, Andrew, Catalin, Michelle, Raya, & the rest of our PhotoFly Team!
