When traveling to Third World countries, there may be times when we are forced to make unexpected accommodation changes to different but similar lodging or properties of a different class than originally planned. We strive for hotels that fall in the four-star range by American standards, though in some countries, that is not always an option.

Trip descriptions will always give you an accurate assessment of the destination lodging. When available, such properties still may suffer from a variety of irregularities that come and go by the hour, including the availability of hot water, the amount of street noise outside, the occasional errant salamander, or the operational nature of an elevator. Embracing other countries sometimes includes embracing their challenges, and while we do our best to navigate around them, sometimes they are unavoidable.

In addition, we may find it necessary during a trip to rearrange the schedule according to the weather, our supplier’s needs, or other unforeseen factors. However, we will do our best to provide the experiences we promise, and we will provide substitute activities and lodging of a similar nature to the best of our abilities if one of the trip’s components becomes unavailable.

At Things I Wander, you are traveling with the company’s owner, Cynthya, and she is determined that groups share the best possible experience 100% of the time, because their experience is her experience too.
