YOUR TRAVEL PARTNER

Shoshana Altrichter is the Founder and CEO of Winding Way Travel.  With more than 20 years of business, travel, and non-profit management experience, she has developed a passion for overseeing educational travel programs that make organizations stand out and warrant financial success.

At an early age, Shoshana had a passion for exploring the world.  Through Winding Way Travel, she is hoping to share this passion with organizations that may lack the funding and resources it takes to manage a full-scale travel program.

Before founding Winding Way Travel, Shoshana worked for many years managing the national travel program for the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia.  During this time Shoshana refined and expanded on her travel management experience including exceptional customer service, brand management, and effective marketing.  Shoshana also consistently delivered on budgetary goals.  Shoshana has spoken to thousands of travelers helping them find the tour that best suited their needs and desires.  Having traveled to six continents and over 40 countries allows Shoshana to deliver customized itineraries for every type of traveler or budget.

“Whether your group is heading off the beaten path to Uzbekistan or Ethiopia or wants a more leisurely, small-ship, elegant cruise to the British Isles, or around Iceland,  Shoshana is able to manage the trip expertly.   She listens to what each traveler is seeking and carefully curates the best tour directors, accommodations, food, and a program with those extra touches that will make it a unique experience for everyone.   Having travelled from Antarctica to Svalbard and China to South Africa on tours organized with Shoshana,  I would go anywhere in the world with her, trusting that the arrangements will be top notch.”

Carla Thorson – Vice President for Programs, The Commonwealth Club of California

“For more than a decade I have served as an Academic Lecturer for programs organized by Shoshana. These ranged from standard small-shop cruises to land travel designed to meet client specifications. Shoshana gives careful attention to all aspects of such programs, from accomodations to food and drink to activites and adventures, so that travel is both enjoyable and educational. She is knowledgeable, professional, detail-oriented, and a true pleasure to work with. Travelers seeking informative and engaging travel programs could not do better than Winding Way Travel.”
