Your Tuscany, Italy and Bali Experts

We are Rob Friedman and Stacey Mattraw, owners of Sojourn Ventures. We offer Italy and Bali vacation packages to non-profit organizations to aid their fundraising efforts. For the past 25 years, we have traveled extensively throughout Europe and Asia with an emphasis on Italy and Bali. We own several of the properties listed on this site, and serve as booking agents for the others you’ll find here. We have deep and lasting relationships with people in both Italy and Bali that allow us to offer our guests sojourns beyond the normal tourist experience. We take our guests’ needs and desires very much to heart, and receive great satisfaction from providing them with meaningful stays, full of discovery and adventure. We look forward to providing you with your own Bali or Italy adventure! Rob and Stacey
