Our Story
The Gathered Way is a boutique travel agency created to thoughtfully plan and curate meaningful trips — experiences designed for connection, rest, and shared moments that matter.
It was born from a simple belief: that life’s sweetest moments are meant to be shared. Through travel, we create space for people to gather — families, friends, couples, communities — and experience the beauty of the world together with intention and care.
My story began in the theatre, where I first discovered the power of shared experiences — how a story can move a room and bring people together. Those early lessons in connection shape how I plan travel today. God simply gave that same passion a new stage — one that celebrates His beauty through travel, community, and belonging.
At The Gathered Way, trips are more than itineraries. They are invitations to pause, to belong, and to remember what truly matters. Whether it’s a family vacation, a destination wedding, a group journey, or a once-in-a-lifetime experience, every detail is thoughtfully planned with faith, intention, and love.
This is travel designed to create joy, rest, and the kind of laughter that feels like home. It’s about walking together — as friends and family — and seeing God’s hand in every step of the journey.
The Gathered Way is where thoughtfully planned journeys begin.
And I can’t wait to plan yours.
With sincerest gratitude,
Jaqueline Rivera-Sotoodeh
