“Every detail of this trip was meticulously crafted to engage us on a deeper level—not just as tourists but as learners, listeners, and community-builders."

Absolutely phenomenal! Life Beyond the Room delivered an unforgettable immersion experience for The Ministry Collaborative’s pastoral cohorts in South Africa. Every detail of this trip was meticulously crafted to engage us on a deeper level—not just as tourists but as learners, listeners, and community-builders. From the vibrant cityscapes to the awe-inspiring natural landscapes, we were introduced to a South Africa beyond our expectations. LBR’s team thoughtfully organized each day to balance immersive experiences with spiritual reflection. They facilitated interactions with local communities, church leaders, and social activists, allowing us to see firsthand the resilience, diversity, and challenges within South African society. They provided spaces to connect, share, and reflect on our journeys in ministry against the backdrop of South Africa’s rich cultural and historical tapestry. It’s rare to find a travel agency that combines deep cultural understanding, spiritual insight, and flawless organization. Life Beyond the Room set a new standard, and we left South Africa equipped with renewed vision, inspiration, and a wealth of cross-cultural insights. Highly recommend for any ministry or organization seeking a powerful, purpose-driven travel experience.
"LBR listens extremely well to travelers prior to and during the trip."

LBR does an extraordinary job in general of planning and overseeing travel experiences, two things stand out in particular: first is their unique combination of extremely thorough planning complimented by an ability to pivot in real time based on the needs of travelers or due to unexpected variables that inevitably come up on trips. I never felt any anxiety about working with LBR to make changes as needed. Second, and related to that, LBR listens extremely well to travelers prior to traveling and during the trip. LBR does not get locked into their vision for a trip but rather does everything they can to ensure the trip meets the needs and expectations of travelers. I’m truly grateful for the flexibility and personal touch!

I could not be more grateful for Karen and her team at Life Beyond the Room. Their approach is completely unique and highly personalized to each and every trip we plan together. Life Beyond the Room has revolutionized the way that I can help my clients see Italy – allowing us to take them beyond the ordinary, exploring deeper and more soulfully into the culture and destination.
I’m so grateful to LBR for supporting our agency and our clients, and for always providing not only creative itineraries but heartfelt and highly responsive service along the journey, as well. Karen and team, grazie mille di cuore!
LBR’s ethos and commitment to enriching the lives of the local people and sustaining centuries-old traditions through tourism can be felt in every experience they offer. This is not cookie-cutter, sanitized, or commercialized travel – LBR creates travel opportunities that are real. Authentic is certainly an overused buzzword in our industry, but this is the truth of what you will receive when working with Karen and her team.
LBR’s commitment to exposing travelers to an Italy that is not diluted or destroyed by the Instagram-era can be seen and felt in every itinerary. I have experienced this firsthand in my personal travels with them, and have left every experience touched deeply in my heart and soul, yearning for more. That is the Italy I want my clients to see, to feel, and to be dying to return to.
I love supporting LBR because I know they are in turn supporting all of the people and places on the ground that make travel so magical – the boutique hotels, the amazing guides, and the hidden gem expereinces that clients will never find online. And they do all of this in a sustainable, and ethical way. Each itinerary is treated as a new opportunity to make magic for our guests and a new canvas to create a masterpiece of memories.
I’m so grateful to LBR for supporting our agency and our clients, and for always providing not only creative itineraries but heartfelt and highly responsive service along the journey, as well. Karen and team, grazie mille di cuore!
