Travel Highlights
Since 2016, Elegant Ewe Travel has embarked on incredible adventures across the globe, from the breathtaking landscapes of Peru and Iceland to the charming coasts of Maine, the enchanting hills of Wales, and the stunning vistas of the Faroe Islands.
Our annual pilgrimage to Scotland for Shetland Wool Week has become a cherished tradition. It allows us to immerse ourselves in the rich history of fiber arts that define these communities.
Each journey has left us feeling fulfilled and enriched, deepening our understanding of the people, their cultures, and the vibrant traditions that shape their stories.
We invite you to enjoy our brief highlight reel, explore our digital photo albums, and share in the beauty of these experiences.
