We offer an array of unusual vacations where you get away from the mundane and apply yourselves to doing things ‘differently’. These trips do not involve any physical challenges, but do require you to leave your comfort zone. At the same time, there is a lot of time for leisure within a framework of safety bounded by a respect for and awareness of local cultures and the environment.
