Why Dragons?
Our Approach
For decades, we’ve embraced a different approach to travel by directly partnering with local communities who graciously share their wisdom and ways of life with us. Most Dragons groups have 10 participants and 2 guides, allowing for a more authentic experience, a lighter impact on the places we visit, and deeper learning every step of the way.
Cultural Immersion
Structured around 6 Program Elements, each itinerary balances immersive hands-on experiences, intentional learning activities, and opportunities for you to pursue your individual interests. Then we—as guides—step to the side so you can genuinely engage with culture, place, and dramatically different realities that would be difficult to access on your own.
Expert Guides
Global educators at heart, these incredible human beings are more than a wealth of knowledge. By sharing their extensive in-country experience, academic backgrounds, and personal relationships with the communities we visit, they open doors to unique experiences that stay with you for life.
A Typical Day
Every trip is designed to engage the individual as well as the group. On a typical day, you can expect to dive into planned group activities, have time to explore on your own, and end the day with a good meal and comfortable accommodations.
