Our trips are perfect if you:
Love adventure but don’t want to plan every detail
Want to travel with a local guide who familarizes you with the country in a meaningful way
Want authentic experiences, not just photo ops
Enjoy traveling with new people but still value your own space
Crave travel that feels fun, soulful, and a little wild
Love a bit of everything while traveling: nature hikes,
good food, parties, homestays, dance lessons, cooking classes, bicycle tours, etc.
You don’t need to fit a specific “type,” just bring your curiosity and a good attitude!
-
Our groups will be a maximum of 18-20 people, and in many cases will run with as few at 6-8.
We like experiences that feel authentic, so fewer people = better experiences, deeper connections, and way more flexibility.
Think cozy dinners, inside jokes, and actually getting to know the place you’re visiting and the new friends you’re traveling with.

We design bold, soul-stirring adventures to some of the most magnetic corners of the world. Every trip is planned so it includes deep cultural immersion, unforgettable food, the best nature, and real connection with locals.
We’re constantly dreaming about and building what’s next. So if there’s a destination pulling at you? Tell us. If it inspires you, it just might become our next wild adventure!

100%. Whether this is your first big trip or your fifteenth, we’ve got you.
We handle the logistics so you can focus on soaking it all in and enjoying the ride.
Just get yourself to the destination, we’ll pick you up at the airport, and we do the rest. It’s very easy, and truly empowering to have some solo adventures in a comfortable, introductory way.
-
We’ve seen people on our tours between ages 22-65. Honestly, each destination speaks to different travelers, so the group changes with each location. Sometimes, we have a daughter and dad, couples, more solo female travelers, or groups of families.
Every tour is a welcoming environment to get to know people we wouldn’t normally have uninterrupted time to hang out with, which is what makes it really special.
As long as you’re physically capable of the itinerary you’re considering, we welcome you to join us!

Frequently Asked Questions
Hi, I’m Maria!
I didn’t start Wild World Tours just because I love to travel - I started it because of the way travel has changed me as a person.
I’m originally from Pittsburgh but have lived in Cincinnati, Ohio since 2010, where I attended the University of Cincinnati and earned my Master’s degree in Marketing.
I started my career on a pretty traditional corporate path, but the more I traveled, the more I realized I didn’t want a life that felt predictable. I wanted freedom, creativity, and experiences that actually made me feel alive.
Some of the biggest turning points in my life happened in places where I didn’t know the language, didn’t know anyone, and had no choice but to be fully present. Travel has a way of shaking up your expectations in the best possible way. It makes you braver, softer, more curious.
My mission is to crack your comfort zone wide open and give you a different perspective through new experiences.
If that kind of travel speaks to you, you’re in the right place!
It has been a beautiful journey thusfar - and we’ve only just begun. I sincerely hope to see you on a tour.
