About us

The Beginning.
ALUMNI TRAVEL NETWORK BEGAN BACK IN 2010 ON THE CAMPUS of HAMPTON UNIVERSITY BY ALEXIS BROWN AND SABRINA HARVEY. WE REALIZED THAT AFTER GRADUATION WE WOULD NOT BE SEEING OUR CLASSMATES as frequently, EXCEPT FOR THE OCCASIONAL HOMECOMING. THAT'S HOW THE IDEA OF THE SUMMER TRIP CAME ABOUT!
OUR PRIMARY GOAL WAS TO BRING TOGETHER YOUNG PROFESSIONALS FROM AROUND THE UNITED STATES FOR AN ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL All inclusive VACATION. WE WANTED THE CHANCE TO GET TOGETHER WITH PEOPLE THAT WERE LIKE MINDED AND READY TO HAVE A FUN, COMFORTABLE VACATION.

EVERY YEAR WE REVIEW HUNDREDS OF HOTELS AND CHOOSE THE BEST AS THE HOST HOTEL FOR THE TRIP. PREVIOUS YEARS HAVE TAKEN US TO MONTEGO BAY, JAMAICA, CANCUN, Mexico, PUNTA CANA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.

THIS YEAR WE INVITE YOU TO JOIN US IN THE TROPICAL RAIN FOREST and sandy beaches OF COSTA RICA!

THERE WE WILL SPEND 5 DAYS EXPERIENCING THE LOCAL CUISINE, EXPLORING THE HIDDEN WATERFALLS, BRILLIANT SUNSETS, FRESH SEAFOOD, AND CHARMING ARCHITECTURE OF THIS BEAUTIFUL RAIN FOREST!

WHETHER YOU LIKE TO PARTY, RELAX, EXPLORE OR EXPERIENCE NEW THINGS, THIS TRIP HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE, SO SIGN UP NOW!

WITH THE INCLUSION OF OUR PARTY PACKAGE THIS YEAR WILL BE DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT THAN ALL THE YEARS IN THE PAST. THIS YEAR WE HAVE PLANNED AND ORGANIZED OPEN BAR SPECIAL EVENTS JAM PACKED INTO OUR 5 DAY PARTY VACATION!
