Since 1993, Where There Be Dragons has been a pioneering leader in overseas experiential education, conducting rugged and honest adventures that explore the people, landscapes, and issues of the developing world. Each small-group journey is tailored with exceptional care, and extraordinary instructors provide singularly unique experiences. On a Dragons program students travel to remote locales, explore phenomenal wilderness, participate in international aid and relief work, live with families, and learn from authentic encounters with local people.  Each program has no more than twelve students, and is lead by outstanding guides who have years of in-country experience. Course instructors teach language and introduce a range of current issues in politics, human rights, cultural survival, land-use and the environment. Dragons programs are not for everyone; for students who are willing to get dirty for the sake of discovery, Dragons provides the most meaningful travel experiences available
