“VOYAGE entrepreneurial travel gave me a lot of things, which I could not be touched and put to the pocket. If some persons choose to go a St. James Camino de Santiago route for the spiritual reasons, other people must choose VOYAGE entrepreneurial travel for the reason of entrepreneurial skills development. Neither universities, nor colleagues, nor extremely popular and expensive trainings could suggest this amount of practical and theoretical knowledge. It is something amazing that will have a decisive impact on your future reality.”
“During the whole entrepreneurial travel I have changed a lot. I have learned a lot of things, I have tested and pushed myself above my comfort zone, I grew as a person and most importantly I became a stronger character thanks to the many tasks, both on land and on boat, and because of the help and feedback of the many special and unique people I have met.
On the one week on the boat I had the chance to get to know my “teammates” better thus helping us create a bond between us which helped us later on with all the tasks. I have learned, with the help of the captain and his tasks, how a business man has to be, (his character, how he works, how he communicates and corporates with other people etc), what it takes for someone to hire you in a business and many many more. On the one week on land I have learned what it takes to come up with any kind of business idea and how creativity and team work help develop this idea into something amazingly good. Of course I had a lot of fun with everyone during our free time and when sightseeing.”

“My experience during VOYAGE has been really pleasant and educational. The coaches, captains and especially Simona has been really helpful and encouraging. The whole group and I felt a positive and outgoing vibe with every task we were handled.
The VOYAGE challenge is the best thing you can do to get an insightful look on how the product development stage works, how to think like a real entrepreneur, how to make an idea go from thought to reality and most importantly how to grow as an individual.”

“The organization of the trip was carefully tailored and the division of the 2 weeks in land and at sea was a fantastic idea to be able to understand how team can work together and how to develop a successful idea form the first steps.
Simona and the captains gave me many tools I can use in many future business developments or analyses.
Voyage is a fast track learning experience that you will never ever forget in your life form where you can learn with other people, from the coaches and have more tools in your toolbox for any future businesses you might want to develop.”

“VOYAGE was a great opportunity for me for many aspects: first I had the chance to challenge myself in a complete different environment and in several situations I had never been before. The sailing part was cool and a powerful learning tool for my learning as individuals as well as part of a team. I improved my skills and created a good team spirit with the rest of the crew. The land part gave me many interesting, useful and user-friendly tools to develop innovative ideas. What I appreciated most was the approach that allowed me to learn much better and understand some hints and methods to implement ideas into a real innovative creation.
Personally I became more aware about my abilities and the way to “create” something new and “dare to fail” as well as “challenge to win”.
I would recommend VOYAGE to many people I know because it is a life-experience that allow to “learn-by-doing” and that aims to create real successful products to be challenging in the real world.
I think it is a great learning opportunity in terms of personal development and team building. Activities are followed by prepared and qualified trainers and the atmosphere is cool and exciting.”

“First of all, I have learn a lot about myself, where I need to work and what I need to change to become better. I had a great experience to work in team, to discuss problems and insides of each day. I found that it’s the best style of life to travel and develop something new or make something better than others.
I miss VOYAGE a lot. It change my mind.
I recommend voyage for everybody who likes challenges, travel and meet new interesting people with huge experience ,to learn about how to start own business.

So, if you are creative and active person, Voyage is for you! I am very happy that I was a member of Voyage team and I can tell this with big pride.”
