My time with Recover Elevator in Vietnam was nothing short of life changing. This trip brought together a deep cultural connection, a commitment to sobriety, and unforgettable experiences. We explored areas not among the common tourist spots, learned of the area and its people, and made lifelong connections with our fellow travelers. There was a perfect balance of planned activities and personal time. From the streets of Hanoi, to the jungle of the Pu Luong Nature Reserve and the waters of Hạ Long Bay this adventure was top notch. I came back a better person than when I left. I look forward to Peru and many more Recovery Elevator travels to come.

“I had been looking for a real adventure that incorporated sobriety.  Vietnam had been  on my bucket list for years, and I finally told myself, to just go!. I must be honest, I was scared to death to travel that far to meet a group of strangers.  It was the best decision ever!  The Vietnam experience was filled with safe and culturally relevant adventure travel. It was an absolutely seamless travel experience. Every day was well organized. Sober travel is the way to go. It was the experience of a lifetime, and I’m looking forward to the next sober adventure. “

“Going to Costa Rica with Recovery Elevator was a dream. Everything about the trip was amazing, but traveling and connecting with a group of people whom I knew would only support my sobriety was irreplaceable. I can’t wait for future sober travel with Recovery Elevator! “

“Costa Rica was the adventure I needed! I made loads of connections and new sober friends. Between our excursions, workshops, and games we made lasting bonds while traveling Costa Rica. I would do it again in a heartbeat! “

“I have to say that traveling to a foreign country during the omicron surge brought up some anxiety. I had to talk myself into getting on the plane to San Jose. However once I got there I knew I was safe. I quickly realized Recovery Elevator had it under control. The tour company they hired, G Adventures, planned out the top three sites to see from waterfalls in La Fortuna to zip lining in Monte Verde and topped it off in Manuel Antonio where we spotted some amazing wildlife. Recovery Elevator picked a beautiful country that was inspiring to continue my recovery journey and continue to heal alongside of others desiring the same thing… Sober connection and adventure. The recovery workshops that were included were amazing including my first experience with breath-work. Not only did I feel safe among this group but I felt proud strong and inspired. I’m glad I silenced Bruno and went on this trip – I’m stronger for it and made some amazing memories and sober friends.”

“Costa Rica was my first experience going on a sober vacation. It was extremely important in my early sobriety to prove to myself that I could indeed have fun without drinking. The RE group that I went with was incredible. It was so refreshing to be with a group of people (people I had never met before) and feel so comfortable and at home. Expanding my social network is key in moving away from the self-isolation behavior that kept me drinking for years. I look forward to my next RE get-together.”

“Costa Rica for me was an extraordinary sober adventure. The days were full of nonstop challenges and many fun things to do which definitely took  me out of my comfort zone.  Many new connections were made and memories that I will never forget.”
