What makes us different than your typical reading retreat
We prioritize activities
While you will have free time, we build these trips around learning. We engage all sense – Seeing sites and museums; crafting your own souvenir; hearing music and expert talks; tasting the local cuisine.
We aim for accessibility
Everyone deserves to enjoy these trips in comfort and we will do whatever is possible to make sure that happens for you. That includes meeting your physical needs, sensory needs, and offering more affordable options.
We personalize the trip
When you sign up you’ll get a survey so we can learn your preferences, and get your insight into activities thrill you most.
We connect
Not only will you connect with the authors, ideas, and books on these trips. You’ll also connect with your fellow readers through an engaging bookclub, and curated conversations and reflections.
