the detour experience

“The right way to wholeness is made up of fateful detours and wrong turnings.”

— Carl Jung

Wonderlust drives our detours. It is a fierce desire to feel surprise mingled with delight caused by something unexpected, unfamiliar, or inexplicable. We believe that life's most profound lessons come when we venture off the beaten path. Through our offbeat learning journeys, we nurture a lifelong sense of wonder, allowing the pace and space for getting lost, being delighted, and feeding your wonderlust.

Traveling slow means fostering deep connections to a place and its people. It redefines travel as a collection of human experiences rather than a checklist of destinations. Slow travel allows us to unpack our world, and our suitcase.
