from society verde retreats /

  • ‘this is sustainable, immersive travel that respects people and cultures. in costa rica, i made wonderful new friends, hung out with sloths, surfed, ziplined, drank coffee right from an organic farm, and ate loads of gallo pinto. you’ll love these trips!’

    – lisa s.

  • ‘society verde offers all-star retreats that are second to none. if you’re looking for a well-planned, extremely organized retreat that allows you to just show up and partake in whatever your energy desires, you need to jump on an itinerary before it sells out!’

    – marybeth e. / 2x traveler

  • ‘melissa is so thoughtful and conscious of all people and places and has really opened up my way of thinking when i travel. i feel so informed when i travel with her. once again, she planned a beautiful and meaningful trip, and it was another flawless journey. i ❤️ oaxaca and society verde!’
