In their words
Visiting Wrld offered a safe space where LGBTQ+ individuals can experience the enjoyment and privilege of a fitness and wellness retreat. It was filled with transformative information to become a more confident and productive person.
This trip taught me so much about health science and essentials for having a healthy body. I was blown away by the coaches and staff. Being surrounded by people who supported me allowed me to be more of myself and have a blast. Worth every penny.
The coaches were amazing, very friendly and open. The private chef food was so good and the workouts were tough but fun. There was never a dull moment, the excursions were fun from beginning to end.
When I first saw this event pop up on my Instagram, I thought this is a cool opportunity to meet people with different personalities but still having a similar goal of health and fitness. The coaches did such a good job in the gym.
One of the most memorable vacations I have ever had. The rooms were stunning and the food, wow, every meal was delicious. The excursions were the highlight. I highly recommend Visiting Wrld to anyone who wants a truly enriching experience.
I had no idea what to expect going into Visiting Wrld, but what I walked into was magic. It wasn't just a trip, it was a moment in my life I'll never forget.
Absolutely best vacation I ever had. Fitness, learning, villa, exploring the country, all kinds of beaches and places. Just overall I would do this again 100%.
DELIVERED above expectations. This was my first international trip and it could not have gone better. Every detail was handled. I felt completely safe the whole time.
After two or three days, these people felt like a close-knit pack I didn't expect. I learned so much about life all while seeing it. If you feel it in your gut, do it.
It was a great experience. Meeting new friends, learning more about fitness, and sharpening my mindset. I will definitely be attending future retreats.
I had the best time with Visiting World! The coaches are knowledgeable, passionate, and very strategic.
This retreat exceeded every expectation I had. I came away learning so much about physical fitness, mental resilience, and even spiritual well-being.
By far one of the best experiences Ive ever had! The team is great, the adventures are exciting. You will truly be transformed not just physically but also mentally and spiritually.
Amazing experience, glad I was able to do this, definitely recommend to everyone.
Visiting Wrld being LGBTQIA has not only made me feel safe and included coming in alone, but I have been able to meet some of the most warm, genuine individuals from all around the world with similar goals to grow.
From joining to destination arrival the team is by far top tier. Their dedication not only to your fitness journey but to your overall comfort is unmatched.
The workout coaches provided qualitative feedback in the moment and the workshops were informative and addressed questions accordingly, while keeping participants engaged actively with demonstrations.
The team is professional, knowledgeable and just overall good humans. They've created a space for everyone that felt safe and inclusive. We all had a blast and learnt a lot about fitness and nutrition.
The workshops taught me so much about fitness and wellness, and the coaches were incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping us grow.
I came on this trip to remind myself how to breathe. I ended up also healing trauma I thought I was over. The amount of love I received from everyone on this trip is worth more than any currency
It's been an amazing week with great staff/trainers that have taught us so much on fitness! I'm also leaving with a bunch of new friends who I've connected with and had so much fun with whilst in Costa Rica!
I came here to focus on fitness, but I've realized this experience is just as much about connection, vulnerability, and community.
The staff was amazing and super professional. I had a good time training and learned about form, breathing, and new techniques.
The Visiting Wrld team does the best job of fostering a supportive, safe and fun environment for gay men to learn holistic health and fitness strategies.
Visiting World was an incredible experience! I had an amazing time, and it was truly fun and life-changing. I made some great new friends and learned so much about fitness, health, and pushing myself beyond my limits.
A fantastic experience from start to finish. So much to offer for any individual looking to expand and grow.
I learned a lot about my wellness and emotional intelligence, while bonding and getting to know a bunch of new friends.
I met amazing individuals, built genuine friendships, and made connections that I know will last well beyond the trip itself. The atmosphere was welcoming, well-organized, and inspiring.
Met some amazing people. Learned a lot of fitness and nutrition tips. Had a beautiful luxury break from the outside world
Had a great time, everyone was so welcoming and accommodating. Love the community this brings and the safe space curated by all the coaches.
Although I was reluctant to even give it the time of day, the Visiting Wrld retreat to Bali ended up becoming one of the most memorable trips I've ever had.
When I went I was a little nervous at first but the team and the other retreaters made me feel so safe and cared about. I can not stop recommending this to people. If you can go, do it.
I had the opportunity to travel with Visiting Wrld this past week to Costa Rica for their fitness retreat and had one of the best experiences of my life.
The best vacation I invested in! I got to meet people from all across the states and across the world. It was the best way that I can get away, have fun but stick to my fitness plan at the same time.
Wow what an amazing experience. I got to work in my self physically, emotionally, and socially surrounded by a group of incredible individuals.
I came into this retreat solo, not knowing a single person, just looking to challenge myself and reset. What I walked away with was way more than I expected real connections, real conversations, and a brotherhood that felt genuine from day one.
The best vacation ever! Gym, experiences, good people, really good food, nice trips, georgeus accommodiation.
Once again to Jasper, Joe, and all the coaches, thank you for changing my life and making my first international trip the best one I could've possibly had!!
I loved everything about it. You can tell the coaches put their all into this. I would 100% do this again!
Honestly, you guys did amazing. I'd 100% re-do the experience. I mean it when I say it's been the best trip of my life.
Here, time softens, giving way for a community not just built, but truly felt.
This trip was a spectacular experience. I wish I could do it all over again. If you're looking to do something great for yourself. You'd go on one of these trips.
This experience was well past my expectations. Everyday we were jam packed with things to do, but of course some free time as well to just enjoy our vacation.
From the moment I arrived, I felt completely safe, welcomed, and cared for by the team. The group had such a positive and inviting vibe, which made it easy to relax and focus on enjoying myself.
This experience was so fun and genuinely like no other! I could tell that Jasper and Joe and anyone a part of the visitingwrld team put their heart into this.
The most amazing experience of my life, usually you are used to judgment when you meet new people. However there was no judgement at all which is amazing.
Awesome trip. I had plenty of fun excursions coaches were A+ from the organization to everything thought out the whole trip.

Common questions
The most common things guys ask before they apply. If you still have questions, the discovery call is where we answer everything.
Most of our retreaters are first-time international travelers. We handle the full logistics: flights guidance, passport tips, airport coordination, and a group that lands together. You won't figure it out alone.
About 80% of the guys who join arrive solo. That's the whole point. You show up alone and you leave with a crew. Most guys say that coming alone was the best decision they made.
Yes. Coaches calibrate to you, not to a group average. Beginner to advanced, so every training session is designed so every guy gets a real workout and nobody gets left behind.
Packages range based on room type. A $500 deposit locks your spot and most guys do a payment plan from there. We talk through the details on the discovery call so you know exactly what fits your budget before you commit.
Most guys use PTO plus a long weekend. The retreats run 6 to 9 days depending on the destination. We can help you think through timing on the call. Plenty of guys with demanding jobs have made it work.
Yes, fully and intentionally. The retreat is built for gay and queer men. Every guy in the group knows that coming in. You'll not need to filter yourself for a single second.
