Unwelcoming Travel Company

I am writing this review to detail my highly concerning experience with Penny Pinching Globetrotter. The CEO is still posting negative information about me in retaliation for writing unfavorable reviews. She has a history of posting hostile public rhetoric to demonize individuals. She appears to rely on inflammatory language and a receptive audience to cultivate a climate more conducive to division, hatred and violence. A similar pattern was noted in a Better Business Bureau complaint dated December 7, 2023, where a customer who canceled a trip reported that the CEO posted false information and subjected them to public ridicule, contempt, and hatred.

Penny Pinching Globetrotter’s marketing is selectively based, a practice that may be unsuitable for a public-facing organization. The CEO’s own statements confirm this bias:

• "if you don’t agree with my stance that’s okay cause there are plenty who do and those are the people that I want to travel with."

• "I definitely do not want to travel with people who support Trump and therefore the destruction of American democracy."

• "Am pretty open about my values which is why I attract like minded people. So my marketing will stay the same as it’s working. Rarely does a Trump lover slip through the cracks.”

If you are considering a trip with Penny Pinching Globetrotter, be aware that the group dynamic may not be a good fit for everyone.

Open, honest, and friendly

I have been on 6 trips with Penny Pinching Globetrotters. We have been to amazing places from Iceland to the Galapagos, and I am preparing to travel with them to Turkey soon. I have made good friends with people from all over while experiencing group travel with anywhere from 8 to 16 people. Thankfully, we come from all different socioeconomic and cultural places so I can escape from my tiny hometown when I am with them. I found PPG to be a great way to travel without doing any real planning or being in charge. I love meeting up with Melissa and Wade and seeing the world with some amazing people.
