3-Part Program
At Taproots Travel, our singular focus is strengthening families. We achieve this through our thoughtfully designed three-part program, connecting your family’s past, present, and future.
Heritage
We believe strong families flourish from a deep understanding of their origins – strong roots truly nurture strong branches. That’s why our group trips include 10 hours of dedicated family history research, setting the stage for an immersive journey to your ancestral lands. There, we delve into the history and culture, walking in the footsteps of your forebears to gain a profound understanding of their lives.
On our custom trips, this connection becomes deeply personal. We meticulously craft itineraries to visit places holding specific significance for your family, from cherished wedding sites to final resting places and the towns your ancestors called home.
Through these experiences, the past comes alive, revealing stories of both hardship and resilience, and offering invaluable insights into the lives that shaped your family.
Adventure
Building upon our understanding of the past, we then focus on creating profound connections within your family through unique and shared experiences.
Together, you’ll immerse yourselves in the local culture, perhaps by attending a captivating performance or learning a traditional craft. And of course, no cultural exploration is complete without savoring the delectable flavors of authentic local cuisine.
We also believe in the power of nature to connect us – both to the places we visit and to each other. Imagine riding a scenic train up a mountain and cycling down together, hiking to a pristine lake, or gently floating down a river. Studies show that these shared outdoor adventures reduce stress and boost happiness, strengthening your family bonds in breathtaking settings.
Prepare for a lifetime of cherished memories, created together with the ones you love most.
Values
The travel experience culminates in guided Table Talks. These are fun discussions where we draw insights from our past to shape our present and future as a family, all while dining on delicious cuisine!
We begin by reflecting on the lives and lessons of our ancestors. Next, we identify and celebrate the unique strengths within our own family. Finally, you will collaboratively craft a family values statement, a guiding compass for your family’s present and future.
