A New Chapter at Colesville Travel: Meaningful Group Travel for Women, Beginning in Portugal

Cynthia Amin • August 28, 2026

Thoughtfully curated journeys for women who value culture, comfort, connection and meaningful experiences.

Some of you have traveled with Colesville Travel, some have trusted me to plan important vacations, and others may have joined our community while dreaming about where you would like to go next. Wherever you are in your travel journey, I would like to welcome you, or welcome you back to The Curated Journey.


I’m Cindy Amin, Founder and Travel Advisor of Colesville Travel. For more than 30 years, I have helped people experience the world with greater confidence, comfort, and meaning.


I believe travel should be more than a flight, a hotel, and a list of places to see. The best journeys introduce us to history, culture, food, music, and people. They broaden our understanding of the world and sometimes even change the way we see ourselves.

That belief is at the heart of everything I create.


Travel Designed with You in Mind


Planning an international journey can be exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming. There are countless hotels, tours, transportation options, and online opinions to sort through.


My role is to make the experience easier.


At Colesville Travel, every journey is planned with careful attention to quality, pacing, location, and the experiences that make a destination memorable. I especially enjoy working with mature travelers who want to explore more of the world without feeling rushed, overlooked, or left to manage every detail alone.


Whether you are planning a custom vacation, traveling with friends, or joining one of our signature group journeys, you deserve professional guidance and a thoughtfully designed experience from beginning to end.


Why Group Travel Can Be So Meaningful


There is something special about discovering the world with people who share your curiosity.


Group travel gives you the opportunity to experience a destination without having to plan everything yourself. It also creates space for connection shared meals, unexpected laughter, meaningful conversations, and memories that continue long after everyone returns home.

That is the inspiration behind my upcoming signature journey:


Portugal Uncovered: Black Heritage, Wine & Coastal Beauty


From September 23–October 3, 2027, Colesville Travel will lead an intimate 11-day journey through Lisbon, the Algarve, and Porto.

This is not a hurried tour built around checking landmarks off a list. It is a thoughtfully paced experience created for travelers who want to understand, taste, and feel Portugal.


Our journey will include:


  • An African Heritage Walking Tour and heritage lunch in Lisbon
  • The palaces, villages, and coastal beauty of Sintra and Cascais
  • The dramatic Algarve coastline, including Benagil Cave and Marinha Beach
  • A beautiful day in the Douro Valley with wine tasting, a regional lunch, and a river cruise
  • Authentic Portuguese cuisine, carefully selected four-star hotels, private touring, and local guides
  • A memorable farewell evening featuring traditional Fado music

There will also be time to relax, explore, enjoy the scenery, and experience Portugal at a comfortable pace.


Reservations officially open September 1, 2026, and space will be limited. A $300 deposit will reserve your place, and convenient payment plans will be available.


Discover Portugal Uncovered


Let’s Begin Again


As I restart The Curated Journey, you can expect to hear from me each week with travel inspiration, destination stories, helpful advice, carefully selected opportunities, and a closer look at the experiences Colesville Travel is creating.


I want this newsletter to do more than sell vacations. I want it to inspire you to keep discovering, keep learning, and keep making room in your life for experiences that matter.


Perhaps Portugal will be your next journey. Perhaps another destination has been quietly calling your name. Either way, I’m delighted to have you here and I look forward to helping you see more of this extraordinary world.


Where would you love to go next? Simply reply and tell me. I would truly enjoy hearing from you.


Stay inspired!
