Travel Like No Other

For 30+ years, we’ve run the most immersive programs available. 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

Our 9 Program Components are hand-on ways for you to deepen your immersion through homestays, apprenticeships, trekking, and language study.

Small Groups & Personalized Mentorship

With an industry-leading 4:1 ratio of 12 students to 3 instructors, our groups provide exceptional individualized support and tailored challenges.

Outcomes & Impact

Each program gives you opportunities to learn new skills that you can apply to your future education, career, and life path.

Locally-Fluent Instructors

Our guides are experts in the locations in which they lead—helping you feel safe and immediately at home in the places you visit.

Offline

Programs offer an offline and fully present reality. Swap out your phone for hours of laughter and stories with your homestay family and new friends.
