Steve Hope

My interest in travel started young and was inspired through road trips, summer adventure, and countryside journeys with family. This interest was solidified while living overseas and I’m fortunate to have had the opportunity to continue to explore this interest further abroad, both personally and professionally. Having spent a few years living in various places in Asia after graduating school, I still consider it my second home and I’m always eager to get back to explore old haunts and head off somewhere new. With many years’ experience developing and selling tailor-made travel in Asia, Africa, and the Indian Subcontinent, I recognize and appreciate quality travel experiences and understand the wide variety of unique and memorable experiences the regions offer. I work closely with our agent partners and travelers in planning trips that are made-to-fit, and I look forward to continue sharing my passion for the region as we continue to plan and develop trips together.

"Travel makes one modest, you see what a tiny place you occupy in the world." - Gustave Flaubert

One of my most memorable travel experiences in Asia was a simple early morning sunrise and walk around Varanasi's narrow streets and bustling ghats.

I have worked with Goway several times in the past two years and every single trip has been unforgettable. Specifically, our travel advisor, Maria, has helped us book phenomenal trips to Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland, and most recently, Iceland. Maria is so wonderful and easy to talk to, but what really stands out is her ability to get to know her clients so she can plan trips that perfectly align with our interests and desires. I cannot recommend her strongly enough! Her expertise, hard-work, and dedication towards each trip has given myself, my family, and friends memories to last a lifetime! Kayla Covello

I have been booking with GoWay for more than 2 years and feel so fortunate to have the best Travel Advisor, Maria Spitman, making our vacations unforgettable. I can’t say enough about Maria… she is personable, efficient, detail-oriented, and extremely knowledgeable about her specialty destinations. We have booked many trips with her, including Thailand, Spain, Portugal, Sicily, Iceland, and our most recent trip in Greece. Maria has not only curated nuanced itineraries, but has done so combining her vast knowledge of each region with our interests and needs being met perfectly. With that, it is evident that Maria learns about her clients to create vacation packages that far exceed expectations. I won’t book with anyone else! GoWay has a gem that is irreplaceable! I highly recommend seeking Maria out for all your destination needs. Darleen

Lori Mezzomo and the team at Goway Travel are fantastic! Lori helped plan a 3-week Australia trip for our family of 5. Our teenage boys enjoyed exploring Sydney, Uluru, Cairns and the Gold Coast. Highlights included a Sydney Harbour Bridge walk, sunrise hike around Uluru, snorkeling with turtles on the Great Barrier Reef, and surfing on the gold coast. Lori did a fantastic job of creating an itinerary that was engaging for our teenage boys and relaxing for the parents... not an easy task! We miss Australia and would gladly book again with Lori Mezzomo and Goway Travel.Blair

Michael at Goway Travel was great to work with. We were planning a pre-trip with him prior to a group tour. He worked with us to hit the special places we wanted to visit and things we wanted to do. The accommodations arranged exceeded our expectations. Local guides were all amazing. This was the third trip we booked through Goway, and we will definitely book with them again in the future David Picka
