Travel Programs

IMMERSIVE & REAL TRAVEL EXPERIENCES

A Gap Year with us reshapes the way you see the world and your place in it. If you’re motivated to expand your worldview, explore new ways of being, and develop essential tools for an empowered future, this is the experience you've been looking for.

Don't Just Take Time Off—Take Time that Matters

Beyond an amazing travel experience, our programs give you the opportunity to slow down, be present, and connect meaningfully with yourself and others. This is travel that helps build the confidence, experience, and leadership skills that set you up to tackle whatever’s ahead.

HOW WE TRAVEL

Impactful Programs

Our approach is simple: work with the absolute best instructors, return to communities where we have long-lasting relationships, and run a limited number of programs to ensure every trip is thoughtful, responsible, and intentionally-crafted.

Well-Rounded Experiences

We offer a range of activities to deepen your immersion—we blend experiential learning, homestays, wilderness exploration, and more.

Locally Fluent & Experienced Instructors

We hire instructors that have extensive local connections and experience supporting students—helping you feel at home in new environments and understand the nuances of where you are.

Small Groups and Mentorship

A typical group consists of 12 students and 3 instructors (an industry best 4:1 ratio) giving you mentorship, individual support, and personalized challenge.

Tech Free & Offline

Swap your phone for real connection and new memories—feel the benefits of being present and stepping away from your devices.

Slow Travel

If you want to really get to know a place, you have to put in the time. We intentionally spend longer in each location so you can build meaningful relationships and local understanding.

Unfiltered Access

The knowledge you gain from your travels happens through authentically experiencing the day-to-day realities of the places you visit.
