OUR STORY TITLE VERTICAL.png__PID:b6fd4cac-2397-46ea-a98a-88d9c41c38bdFounder head shots (1).png__PID:34243eb5-9a54-46f2-9767-232f73c79e9e

Courtney & Jon, Soljourne’s co-founders, have always been drawn to the stories, flavors, traditions, & everyday rituals that make each culture distinct. Long before Soljourne existed, a deep interest in people, places, & ways of life shaped how they moved through the world, asked questions, & connected with lives that looked different from their own. That shared perspective became the foundation for something bigger.

Their curiosity shows up differently. Courtney tends to linger, noticing the details many people pass by...the neighborhood café that fills before sunrise, the market stall with a story behind every spice, & the traditions quietly woven into everyday life. Jon brings a different rhythm...the cruiser, the road tripper, the family traveler, & the kind of person who understands that some of life’s best memories come from simply saying yes to the experience.

In their fifties, after decades of building careers, raising families, & following the expected path, these two co-founders chose a different direction. After years of friendship, living just a few blocks apart in the same community, & building business together long before Soljourne existed, creating something meaningful together felt like a natural next chapter. Soljourne was created from a shared belief that meaningful cultural experiences shouldn’t belong only to those with passports, plane tickets, or travel plans. Sometimes, the world can meet you right at home.

REAL TALK

How does Soljourne handle customer concerns & issues? 

Every Soljourne member matters. If something arrives damaged, a shipment is delayed, or you simply have a question, reach out & Soljourne will work to make it right as quickly as possible. Real people, thoughtful support, & no endless ticket loops.

How does shipping work?

Orders placed by the 1st of the month are prepared for that month’s collection and typically ship by the 17th. Shipping is calculated at checkout. Tracking details are sent as soon as your collection begins its journey.

How are destinations chosen?

Destinations are chosen through years of travel, cultural curiosity, conversations with locals, and a deep appreciation for everyday traditions. Each collection is built around places, stories, flavors, and rituals worth sharing.

What if I want to give this as a gift?

Soljourne collections can easily be gifted for someone special.  Select the gifting option at checkout. We'll guide you through the process.

How do I pause, skip or cancel my delivery? 

Members can skip a month, pause future deliveries, or cancel anytime through our customer portal. We understand life gets busy. Our goal is to make this easy for you.

How can I learn more about each destination?

Every collection includes stories, cultural context, and ways to engage with the destination beyond what arrives at your door. Soljourne is also building additional guides, videos, and experiences to help each journey continue.

How can I purchase additional items from a collection?

Select items and destination inspired goods will be available through The Shop as it launches. Members will be the first to know when individual pieces and exclusive additions become available.

What about dietary restrictions & food allergies?

We source with a vegetarian-friendly lens & the majority of items in each collection are plant-based. Some traditionally sourced products may contain ingredients like gelatin, honey, or dairy, so we can't guarantee every item will be vegetarian. Our recipe cards celebrate traditional preparations. We always encourage & welcome a plant-based protein swap.

We are also not able to guarantee that any item is free from specific allergens, including nuts, gluten, soy, or dairy. Some items are repackaged in-house & may not include full ingredient details. Please use your best judgment & reach out to us directly if you have a specific allergy concern.

If an item isn't right for you, we encourage passing it along to a friend or donating it to a local food pantry or community sharing shelf. We never want good food to go to waste, so please pass it on to someone who would enjoy it.

Where does Soljourne currently ship?

Soljourne currently ships within the United States. Additional destinations may be added as the journey grows.

Can I choose my destinations?

Each Soljourne collection is intentionally kept a surprise, allowing every journey to unfold as it was meant to. Part of the experience is discovering someplace new, one destination at a time.
