The Mission of Trip Scholars
Thoughtful travel planning makes the most of our trips-- and our lives
At Trip Scholars we believe that by learning about the nature, culture, and history of our travel destinations we can better appreciate, understand, celebrate and commit ourselves to the protection of our precious and singularly unique world and its people. We enhance our brief lives through our study, we deepen our travel experiences and connections, and we entertain ourselves.
