“Serving as an antidote to over-scheduled, time-poor stressors that pervade our busy lives, ‘See You in the Moment’ encourages being fully present in the moment with others; being mindful, which by design is innately therapeutic,” said Tom Marchant, co-founder, Black Tomato. “At Black Tomato, we have a deep understanding of the psychology of travel, pioneering travel experiences designed to be transformative and bring lasting impact, from getting lost (Get Lost) to find yourself in Mongolia, to harnessing travel as a self-improvement tool, with Bring it Back.”

Among the curated selection of 30 extraordinary travel moments — each of which can be woven into a greater journey — are such experiences as The Challenge, The Journey, The Event and The Celebration. With The Meal “moment,” participants can dine beneath the midnight sun in Norway’s Lofoten Islands and savor both one another’s company and a gourmet private retreat on an uninhabited island. Multiday adventures embrace the sparkling outdoors, while meals are crafted by world-class chefs and food artisans. Or, choose a trip built around The Challenge and travel into the Peninsula Mitre in Argentina’s Andes mountains, all the way to the tip of Tierra del Fuego. Bond with your travel companions while embarking upon a series of physical challenges incorporating hiking, horseback riding and nomadic campsites, with sailboat and helicopter travel as part of the excursion.

“Ultimately,” added Marchant, “we believe these unforgettable shared experiences foster a profound sense of belonging and togetherness, bonding a group by becoming part of their shared narrative. While some moments can still be enjoyed as a couple, there are some that are so much better with more people, when ten years on you just have to look at a friend and there’s an immediate connection from the past that keeps you reminiscing together down the line.”
