Celebrating Culture

This time I am highlighting the local cultures of the world. While we often travel to experience the big wonders of the world, it's really special to visit the little places that have nurtured their own unique traditions.

  Note that we are building a site that is not Non-Profit. Journeyman will be promoting programs of educational travel around the world. Most of this work will be to share the organizations that are providing experiences that fit our goals. The purpose we are pursuing at Journeyman Network, is  the promotion of small group or independent travel to one place for an extended time to pursue a passionate interest. We ask for donations to support this unpaid work of sharing information about enhancing thoughtful travel. We also are creating new programs and offering the service of custom group and individual travel experiences.

Email us about setting up a group for you to explore what you are passionate about.
