The word "culture" stems from a Latin root that means tilling of the soil. In many modern languages the word is used in a figurative sense, with two meanings. The first, most common, meaning is "civilization", including education, manners, arts and crafts and their products. The second meaning refers to the way people think, feel, and act. The attitudes and behavior characteristic of a particular social group – their shared values and beliefs.
Culture is not only what defines us, but what makes us different. Our differences are necessary. Understanding those differences, of ourselves to others and them to us, is invaluable within our global world. Within our global family.
When you travel to another region, another country, another part of the globe - you have the opportunity to experience another culture - both through their civilization and their social groups. From these experiences and opportunities you find growth, education, and find that travel can truly change your mindset, your perspective, and provide you a more open-mind when looking at the world, yourself and at your neighbor.
Our goal is to go beyond providing just a vacation experience (anyone can plan a vacation). Our goal is to provide a journey for you - to gain an personalized, immersive experience in another culture, learning and growing from your travels. Learning about the history, manners, customs, and general characteristics of your destination. Our goal is to ensure you are more comfortable during the time you are in their environment.
"When you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make its own people comfortable." - Clifton Fadiman
