Welcome to United Explorers — Where Travel Dreams Take Flight

United Explorers is a travel community built for people who love to wander, imagine, and discover. It’s a place where seasoned adventurers and brand‑new travelers come together to daydream about future journeys, swap stories and tips, and turn dream vacations into real‑life experiences.

​

Looking Ahead With United Explorers

Our journey doesn’t stop with unforgettable group trips and shared adventures. United Explorers is growing with purpose, and our future plans reflect that same spirit of curiosity, connection, and intentional living.

In the coming seasons, we’re excited to expand into medical tourism exploration, offering safe, well‑researched opportunities for members who want to combine wellness, affordability, and travel. We’re also planning restorative retreats designed to help you reset, reconnect, and return home renewed.

And through it all, we’ll continue offering guidance on how to live with intention—because travel isn’t just about where you go, but how you grow along the way.

With United Explorers, every journey has meaning, and every traveler has a place.

Medical Tourism

Medical tourism is when people travel to another country to receive medical care—often because it’s more affordable, offers specialized treatments, or provides access to wellness services they can’t easily get at home.

Uniting the Explorers Retreats

Retreats with United Explorers are designed to bring our travelers together—creating space to unwind, reconnect, and build deeper bonds through shared experiences, reflection, and intentional living.

Intentional Living

I didn’t name my company “Intentional” by accident—I truly live this way. Every choice, every journey, every connection is guided with purpose, and I want to share the magic of a life lived with intention with everyone who travels alongside me.

My name is Rebecca Scholtes

This, my friends, is just the beginning. There is so much more to come. Join me as I turn this vision into a reality—one that lifts us, inspires us, and makes our lives richer in all the best ways. 

~Live with intention! Rebecca
