Periquito Adventures & Travel

Delivering world-class SMALL-GROUP & PRIVATE ADVENTURES the world over...Africa, Europe, and beyond!

My heart is heavy for my friend (Morgan) and her family tonight. I have known Morgan since she was a tiny little girl living down the street from me in San Diego. Morgan, along with her mom and dad just joined me on my Croatia/Slovenia trip a couple of months ago. She was delightful, and it was such a treat to spend time with her as a grown woman! Sadly, I learned this afternoon that her home was burned to the ground in the Palisades Fire. Thankfully, Morgan, her husband (Tim), and their children were able to evacuate and are safe and sound right now... but they lost EVERYTHING, and their entire community is decimated. If you're not already offering prayers to those affected by these horrific fires, please do. If you are... please add Morgan to your thoughts and prayers.

Love you, Morgan! You are in my thoughts and prayers. I'm here... just whistle!

Periquito Adventures & Travel’s Autumn Jewels tour continues! Since my last post we’ve conquered the Istrian Peninsula of Croatia! We got all tucked into a glorious hotel on the Croatian Riviera in the village of Opatija… the perfect home base to explore this region!

We explored the romantic seaside village of Rovinj and stopped for an olive oil tasting class at Chiavalon Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil Estate (magnificent). Then we soaked in the history of Pula’s 2000-year-old amphitheater/colosseum before ending the day with a private farm-based cooking class that morphed into a spontaneous dance party when Chef Goron gave us access to his extensive vinyl collection! Somehow we managed to make ravioli, fettuccini, and beef ragu from scratch. It was a delicious blast!!!

Thanks to our day-guide (Irina Načinovič), our amazing driver (Dino), and Chef Goran for a brilliant day!

SLOVENIA / CROATIA 2025 - registration opening soon!

The good times are rolling right along on my Autumn Jewels tour of Croatia! While in Split, we enjoyed a glorious, fun-filled day on a private boat cruising around the islands off of Split! We’ve visited the spectacular treasure that is Plitvice Lakes National Park, and spent the night last night in the most gorgeous accommodations in the park. Now we are headed to Opatija, on the Croatian Riviera! Stand by for my next update!

Periquito Adventures & Travel - The “Scoop”!

To understand Periquito Adventures & Travel, you first need to know the story of Susie and Morgan Langley. Married for nearly 30 years, Susie and Morgan traveled the world together, making life-long friendships, collecting memories, and photographing some of the most scenic and magical places they could find. Morgan was larger than life... not just a loving husband, but also a former Marine, an Italian car enthusiast, a motorcycle rider and racer, and a photographer. In fact, he raced on a Mexican racing team in Baja California for a number of years, which is where he got the nickname “Periquito” (Spanish for “little parrot,” because he could talk… A LOT!). Sadly, a tragic traffic accident took Morgan’s life in September of 2017. In the months that followed, Susie founded Periquito Adventures & Travel in his honor. Her mission is to lift up his memory by sharing their wanderlust with all who wish to experience it for themselves. As Susie continues to heal and begins to author the next chapter of her life, her focus is clearly on gratitude and giving back. Her mission is twofold: 1) Help others to understand that tomorrow is not promised... retirement is not guaranteed... so, live NOW, travel NOW, and thrive NOW. 2) Traveling obliterates stereotypes, builds friendships, tears down walls, and heals your heart and soul.

Susie’s first trip to Africa in March of 2018 was transformational, as she developed relationships with several of the local people that will last a lifetime. It was her catalyst to launch Periquito Adventures & Travels with the aim at healing hearts and building friendships one epic adventure at a time.

She specializes in small-group experiential travel designed to deliver opportunities that you simply cannot get with independent or large-group travel. Susie does all the legwork for you to create a safe, organized, fun, and flexible way to see the world, make your own friendships, and feed your soul.
