Maximize your positive impact
We are a small-scale, purpose-driven community of educators, committed to supporting students who want to travel responsibly. When you travel with Dragons, you make an investment in yourself and in your values. You can rest assure that your tuition is going directly to the people you meet along the way, and that our local engagement is respectful and genuinely appreciated.
Learning Service
The desire to do good is a great motivator, and our learning-centered approach to service helps ensure the product of that motivation is truly positive.
Low-Impact Travel
With small groups we’re able to travel light and off the beaten path, reducing environmental impact and over-tourism.
Listening to Locals
The people who host us have an abundance of insight, and when we listen carefully, we expand our perspectives.
Centering Underrepresented Voices
We engage with communities primarily in the Global South who are maintaining lifestyles different from mainstream western culture.
Direct Community Relationships
We have direct relationships with our partner communities. We are invited into their homes not as transactional clients, but as partners in cross-cultural education.
Self-Awareness
Travel carries complex and inherent imbalances of privilege and power. We nurture critical self-reflection and awareness of these themes and the way they impact our work.
