What people are saying

Inverted Atlas

Kristina gave us that authentic sense that we had become part of the landscape and that stepping out of our comfort zones we had renewed our delight in the variety of what life has to offer. Kristina, now with her travel company, and her professional staff have the acumen and the enthusiasm to make it happen, to take the worry out of travel but not the personal accomplishment that comes with doing the extraordinary.

Journeys Worldwide

Just returned from a fantastic safari experience to the Serengeti and Tarangire National Park in Tanzania with Sean Lues. Superb organization deluxe accommodation/food coupled with Sean’s extensive guiding experience and encyclopedic knowledge of African wildlife made this a trip of a lifetime. Highly recommended.

Mysterious Adventures Tours

I booked the Halloween in Ireland with Katrina Weidman tour and I really loved it. I’ve watched Katrina on TV since Paranormal State and looked forward to meeting her. We went so many amazing places and even did a paranormal investigation on Halloween Night at Leap Castle. The only way to experience the ancient magic of Ireland first hand is to experience it yourself. The Irish people were so friendly everywhere we went and I learned so much, even picked up a little Gaelic! Every hotel we stayed at had some kind of paranormal activity which made for a very interesting trip.
Thank you Maria, Bob, Katrina, Eddie, Shelley and the Paranormal Adventures Ireland Team ☘️🇮🇪
