Dear Reader,\

​

When embarking on an artistic adventure in another country, having the right guide can make all the difference.

Meet Courtney Messick

A passionate traveler, experienced guide, and owner of Tevera Travels, Courtney will be leading us on our unforgettable painting journey through Zimbabwe. With years of experience crafting immersive travel experiences across Africa—especially in her beloved Zimbabwe—Courtney brings a wealth of knowledge, a deep connection to the local culture, and a contagious enthusiasm for exploration.

​

Originally from the United States but having called Zimbabwe home for most of her life, Courtney understands both the wonders of this breathtaking country and the nuances of traveling abroad. Her expertise ensures that every aspect of our journey is seamless, allowing us to focus on creativity, inspiration, and cultural connection.

​

With a warm and adventurous spirit, Courtney seamlessly blends her passion for travel, art, and cultural immersion to create unique and unforgettable experiences. As the owner of Tevera Travels, she specializes in curating journeys that showcase Zimbabwe’s breathtaking landscapes, vibrant wildlife, and rich artistic traditions.

Courtney’s extensive knowledge of Zimbabwe—from its hidden gems to its most iconic landmarks—ensures that travelers not only feel safe and well cared for but also truly connected to the heart of Africa. Whether it’s sharing stories about local customs, introducing travelers to Zimbabwean artists, or guiding them through stunning natural settings that inspire creativity, Courtney is dedicated to making every moment of the journey enriching and memorable.

​

In addition to her work in travel, Courtney and her family are deeply involved in coordinating service projects throughout Africa. She has arranged a special opportunity for our group to create murals for a classroom of schoolchildren, allowing us to contribute to the local community in a meaningful and lasting way. Her commitment to sustainable tourism and community engagement means that this adventure is not just about painting—it’s about making connections, leaving a positive impact, and experiencing Zimbabwe in a way that is authentic, respectful, and deeply fulfilling.

​

With Courtney as your guide, you’ll discover the beauty of Zimbabwe through the eyes of someone who knows and loves it as home.
