We’re Emilie and Erika, best friends who have traveled the world together. We miss travel like crazy, and created TROVE, an original travel subscription box, to bring authentic cultural experiences from around the world to your home while supporting small businesses worldwide.
Each TROVE box features a new city, and includes LIVE online experiences hosted by local experts and regional ingredients, snacks, and other goodies to bring the sights, tastes, and sounds of a city to your doorstep.
Come explore the world with us, and support the local gems and cultural ambassadors who make our travels so special.

What our customers are saying
One of my travel friends sent me a Trove box. What an AMAZING and perfect gift!!! I feel in LOVE the minute I opened my Trove box and saw all the wonderful, great quality, unique Italian items. Then I discovered the interactive meal element. I was hooked! I ordered all the past boxes and signed up for a year! I've traveled to many of these countries and the Trove boxes were spot on with the experience. Trove is fulfilling my wanderlust until I can safely travel the globe again. THANK YOU!!!
What a treat our first Trove box was from the moment we opened the box! As we unpacked the box we oooooohed and aaaaaahed over each of the items inside. Fun snacks, exciting ingredients, bright, cheerful, informative cards giving us a glimpse of our adventure ahead and the crown jewel, the GORGEOUS olive wood mortar and pestle. Due to time zones and our busy schedules we weren’t able to participate live but loved the recorded cooking demonstration and appreciated the personal experiences and information Chef Mae shared. We have cooked with curry before but this dish was unlike others we’ve made and it was a lot of fun to learn a new way to use our delicious curry paste! We are so excited to see where our next adventure takes us!
This meal was not difficult to prepare, even using the provided mortal and pestle was fun. We really enjoyed the elephant sanctuary tour the following weekend. Can't wait for the next tour of a far away place.
We’ve look forward to every Trove box and use it as one of our date nights! Great information on the featured city, unique cooking class experiences (all delicious so far) plus the ability to join live or watch recording depending on our schedule. Carefully curated boxes with all high quality items the majority of which are truly from the region! Especially wonderful while we aren’t able to travel.
The idea of a subscription service that provides a live experience and live class virtually from different locations in the world - is fantastic. Paired up with the beautifully curated and thoughtful items -- even better!
Emilie and Ericka.. you've thought this through carefully. You have used your experiences/contacts to create a full cultural trip that most people can make future decisions of where they'd like to go after covid by the small, but interesting virtual trips around the world...which sparked their interest for future adventrues. Good show! Women ROCK!!!
This was my 2nd box in my subscription. The cooking class was just as awesome as my first one!! Everything in the box is top quality!!!
The Khao Soi was so delicious and I loved the class. Really had that homemade look and was full of flavor! This was my third Trove box and what I love about the trove recipes is that they are easy enough that I can make them again! I have made the ginger chicken and miso noodles from the Japan class multiple times and I’m excited to add Khao soi to the mix too. Such a fun escape to a new city while stuck at home right now.
Our team had a great class with Pat from Florence, Italy and it was an absolute blast! HIGHLY recommend. Information leading up to class was clear. The Trove package in addition to the dry non-perishable ingredients, were clear and detailed prep and cooking instructions that made it easy to follow Pat during class. End product was delicious!
I would highly recommend this experience! The cooking class with Chef Pat was amazing - she was so sweet and shared so many great wise cooking secrets. The ravioli was so good and it was so fun to cook together.
First I would like to mention the great customer service provided by this company. We bought the subscription through Amazon because we were tempted by the Japan box, not realizing that the box we would receive had not been updated. We contacted Trove the moment we realized this and they still had the products for the Japan box and offered to send that to us. They even threw in a little extra “sorry about the trouble” gift.
The box itself was wonderful! The food was great, the cooking class was so much fun that we are looking into doing another class with the same chef, even though we did not have the chance to take part in the live class, and the tea ceremony was lovely.
It was a wonderful break from “normal” life these days and we are very much looking forward to the next box!
Valentine's Day Box: You had me at truffle...
We recently got to experience a taste of Italy through TROVE's Valentine's Day Box. Hands down the best part of the experience was the cooking lessons from Chef Pat. It was like being in a private cooking class in Italy! The box was a great value too. The truffle oil is to die for and there was plenty left over to be used in future recipes. When I opened the box I couldn't believe all the things that were in there. We use the spritz cocktail glasses and recipe book almost every weekend now!!
My husband and I are avid travelers going crazy being stuck home during COVID. Our TROVE box helped us feel like we were able to "get away" for the night! We had so much fun making the heart-shaped truffle potato ravioli with Chef Patrizia and enjoyed the chocolates, tea, and face masks. We would definitely be interested in checking out future boxes!
