Dear Fellow Traveler,

Thank you for visiting the Scholarly Sojourns website. I hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you on one of our sojourns soon. If you take a few moments to explore the diverse collection of tours, I’m sure you’ll agree we offer a most fascinating combination of distinctive vacations for intellectually engaged travelers.

Most likely you found this site because traveling is a passion for you and you possess a devotion to life-long learning. Perhaps like me, you’ve discovered the rewarding sense of accomplishment that travel can afford—particularly when you return from a vacation feeling that you’ve grown a bit, that you’ve learned something on the journey, that, in fact, you’ve been educated in a new way.

That is exactly why I created Scholarly Sojourns—to offer you the opportunity to explore our world with fantastic teachers and other intellectually engaged travelers. Working with a select group of respected scholars and noted experts, the Scholarly Sojourns team designs distinctive travel opportunities for passionate life-long learners like you. We specialize in tours that provide in-depth examination of the places, people, and events that have shaped our world. Created for those who understand the value of life-long learning and who believe that every journey is also an opportunity to engage the mind, our sojourns offer a variety of intriguing destinations and subjects to explore. Each is fashioned around our core beliefs:

• Every journey should engage the mind
• A gifted and inspiring teacher is the best guide
• A combination of relaxation and thoughtful inquiry is the best way to travel
• Small, intellectually-engaged groups foster a mentally stimulating atmosphere
• Each vacation should be the experience of a lifetime

When you join us on a Scholarly Sojourn, I guarantee you won’t just be going on another tour. Better yet, I promise you’ll be returning with a richer understanding of our world.

Hope to see you soon,
