On my first trip to Ghana in 1999, I co-organized a Rites of Passage research study tour. Through this experience, I founded a non-profit organization and have since created Nomadic Noni a travel resource that navigates you through the African Diaspora to discover the cultural connections through educational and travel experiences.

Had a great time. Lodging was in a great neighborhood. Food cooking experience was the highlight of the trip for me. The education from the tour guide on Brazil was awesome.

It was by far the best trip I have taken in many years. It was well organized and curated specifically with our group in mind. Theresa was attentive and personable. I got exactly what I wanted from this trip, which I have want to take for 30 years. This experience far exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Theresa for making this a truly memorable experience.

I had a good experience. It was a small friendly group, the experience was highly educational. I enjoyed Bahia and would jump at the chance to travel with "Nomadic Nani" in the future.
