Celebrating "Kathie Cloverdale”
What began as a first pilgrimage to Italy in 2016 has blossomed into eleven unforgettable journeys of faith, friendship, and discovery. During our recent stay at Villa Borgo San Luigi in Tuscany, the Cloverdale Travel family surprised Kathie O'Keefe Hogan with a heartfelt poem, a festive pizza party, and the affectionate title of "Cloverdale Kathie." Join us as we celebrate a remarkable pilgrim whose joyful spirit has inspired fellow travelers and embodies the heart of every Cloverdale Travel pilgrimage.

New Changes for U.S. Citizens Traveling to Europe
Starting October 12, 2025, the European Union’s new Entry/Exit System (EES) officially changes how U.S. citizens enter and exit Europe. Traditional passport stamps are being replaced with digital records and biometric checks, including fingerprint and facial scans. The system aims to make travel across the Schengen Area more secure and efficient.
