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

Where will your donors go next?!

At Sojourn Ventures, every travel experience reflects on the organization that offered it. When a donor returns home with incredible memories, they associate that experience with the cause they supported. That's why we focus on more than just beautiful destinations.

For over 20 years, we've built trusted relationships with local partners, personally vetted every property we offer, and created a support system that cares for guests from the moment they win their package until they return home.

Because a great donor experience doesn't just create happy travelers, it helps build lasting supporters of your mission!
