Clara Cortez - Founder of For Life Travel & Retreats
Our Story

Founded on a passion for intentional travel and meaningful connections

For Life Travel & Retreats was born from a deep belief that travel can be transformative for the mind, body, and soul when designed with love, alignment, and purpose.

Our goal is to support retreat leaders and travelers by managing the logistics — so they can focus on the experience. We create spaces where there is no judgment, where diverse groups come together to connect and find joy.

Every journey allows you to learn something new about yourself by unplugging and reconnecting. The outcome is to be a better version of yourself — more connected to yourself, others, and culturally grounded.

— Clara Cortez, Founder
