Encounter global spaces. Transform a life.

  • We create global encounters while also providing needs based scholarships for students who want to study abroad.

  • Awaken the student in every human.

  • Travel to encounter other cultures, and be transformed through hospitality.

We open doors for endless possibilities with our immersive experiences.

Our team creates carefully curated experiences to amazing destinations. Imagine hiking a 9th century pilgrimage route with an expert in pilgrimage studies and a medieval art historian. What if you could encounter an adventure in Costa Rica with a marine biologist?

Our tours are all inclusive and for lifelong learners. Each encounter provides experiences customized for the group. We carefully curate the locations and visits to accommodate physical needs and dietary restrictions.

If you can’t go in person, you can still play an important role in a student’s study abroad future by donating to our Encounter scholarship fund.

Encounter has over 25 years of immersive global experience. Our travelers are not simply tourists. We are pilgrims and sojourners entering into sacred spaces.

Let’s meet up in real life to share in the beauty of the natural world.
