About this trip

I want to hitchhike from Paris to Monaco and stop along the way to eat a late dinner on a farm with happy lovers and fresh milk. I want to feel the thunder rising from the ground as 12 bulls scuttle by in Pamplona.


I want to taste foods from Michelin-starred restaurants I can’t afford: Restaurant Le Meurice the next time I’m in Paris; Masa the next time I’m in New York with those friends who are never too busy.


I want to know chefs by their first names, and make cakes with laughing old women who never wrote down recipes. I want a loaf of good bread from a Spanish bakery to dip in oils from an Italian oil maker, and I want a bottle of good wine that isn’t for dessert. Then I want four more. I want Vodka with no chaser from a woman named Natasha, and Tequila with two worms; one for me and one for my drinking buddy.


I want summer’s night and the coolness of a distressed hardwood floor on my toes, thighs, belly and cheek. I want deep south winters and the warmth of a lover pressed to me. More Nina Simone covers by jazz bands on a stage in Montreal. I want to stand at the pinnacle and look over the edge and laugh as loud as I can for as long as I can at absolutely nothing.


Stand ankle deep in the Pacific with the sunshine slowly slumping into my beard, then my collarbone, then my bellybutton. Drift a canal. Stand in The Door of No Return in the House of Slaves. Run the wall. Climb the mountain. Find the bones of century old lovers. 


And I want you with me in the world. We'll toast to the years, to the laughs, and the gods.

I had a great time with my group in Chile. This was my second Passport Required experience, once again Darnell you picked a great location. Donald, who I also had the pleasure traveling with on my first Passport Required experience was a great facilitator. I can't wait until I go on another Passport Required vacation.

Had a blast! I was skeptical about it all since I had never left the country before and super nervous about not knowing where we were going and/or staying. Packing only a carry on for a week was also stressful for me but again, I'm not a traveler so this was all new to me. In the end I have to say there was zero reason for it. It was laid back and I was actually over packed! If you're a newbie to traveling like me and on the fence about it all, don't be - just do it! Experiencing a new culture was thrilling to say the least. Darnell, thank you so much for taking all the stress out of the planning process and being helpful and available throughout the entirety of it all - from the start to finish and beyond he was reachable, responsive and helpful. A truly amazing experience with a truly remarkable company and guide!

Passport Required is a beautiful experience. The group of ladies I traveled with were wonderful, beautiful, and amazing! Our facilitator “Rey of Light” was one of the best. She curated an experience for us in and around a Mexico 🇲🇽 City. I’ll forever remember “the Caretaker” and “the Source” from the experience. I look forward to the next Passport Required experience.

I had an amazing time with Darnell and the rest of the group! The adventures, the food, the culture, the accommodations - 10/10. Can’t wait to experience another trip with Passport Required.

Wow Wow Wow! So far, I’ve been on 3 Passport Required trips, two led by Darnell Lamont Walker and one led by Trip Facilitator, Staci, and I look forward to going on so many more. Each trip was better than the previous, and in each group of travelers, I’ve made lifelong friends. Passport Required did a great job letting us travelers know exactly what to expect with each trip, and a great job making sure, as they say, no room is left for regret. I’m sad to read the review just below mine left my Lamesha Miles. I was a traveler on that trip, and none of that was my experience. Darnell’s response to Lamesha posted on PassportRequired.Com pointing out why her review is flawed. It didn’t take long to understand that she arrived to the airport with an already negative attitude, and maintained that attitude throughout the trip. Speaking for myself and the others on that trip I’ve spoken with since, that was an unforgettably beautiful and outstanding trip. I highly recommend Passport Required for all people who are open to adventure, open to meeting new people, and open to living colorfully and beautifully. Thank you. Allison.
