About Dragons

A group of about 20 people of all ages outside

OUR STORY

Mapmakers once drew dragons to represent lands unknown. Today, going Where There Be Dragons means exploring beyond what’s known to you. When we engage the unfamiliar, we discover new parts of ourselves and the world.

Our Purpose

Simple yet Bold

Our purpose is to cultivate meaningful connections through immersive and responsible travel. Ultimately, we strive to foster a more compassionate, just, and inclusive world.

We chose to travel to places that have something radical to teach us. Mostly in the Global South, our programs are designed to push participants out of their comfort zone to examine their assumptions, values, and world views. When we engage wholeheartedly with multiple realities and seek out fresh perspectives, we become more empathetic and better versions of ourselves. This process is thrilling, empowering, and nourishing.
