An Unearthed trip isn't like any other holiday that you would go on with your family because of the way we traveled, where we traveled, and who we traveled with. It's an experience that you will never forget.
– Kate Norris, Student, Nepal Expedition
Chances are, there won't be another time in your life to have an experience that's even remotely similar. It's 100% worth all of the effort, time and money.
– James Stringer, Student, Thailand Expedition
All parents just want their kids to be healthy and happy, yet sometimes we take these things for granted. I am so happy to hear my son say technology is sometimes a waste of time, he lived on his phone! Well done everyone.

Expedition Highlights
Explore your World. Explore your Self.
Your personalized itinerary will include the following three program components to ensure your tip is unforgettable.
COMMUNITY PROJECT
A unique opportunity to work closely with local communities offers students an authentic
cultural exchange. Sharing meals and stories, developing language skills, and making a meaningful difference are all part of this rewarding and life changing experience.
ADVENTUROUS TREKKING
Discover the natural beauty and pristine environment by getting off the beaten path. With support from expert guides, students summit volcanoes and mountain peaks high above the clouds, or navigate lush jungles seeking hidden waterfalls. This blends the perfect combination of challenge and teamwork.
CULTURAL EXPLORATION
Traveling ‘back-packer” style, students take on leadership roles and responsibilities of planning and executing daily activities. The Unearthed Leader facilitates orientation discussions and de-briefings to ensure students are prepared and empowered to collaborate and make responsible team decisions. Students enjoy some independence and develop valuable life skills while soaking up the local atmosphere.
I learned that I am completely capable. I am able to save the money to fly half way around the world and have the experience of a lifetime. It was incredibly eye opening and refreshing to do something outside of my comfort zone and actually enjoy it! It made me realize the extent to which I can achieve. It was pretty inspiring to know that I can make a difference to those less fortunate than me.
