Trekking the Planet started with a dream – a 424-day, around-the-world expedition (TTP RTW) to raise K-12 geo-literacy. During this adventure, we traveled to 53 countries on six continents, visiting some of the most remote and unspoiled places in the world. We minimized flights and traveled on the ground using local guides and public transport wherever possible. Our TTP RTW trip had more than 50,000 students following our journey from over 20 countries.

Since that trip, we continue to travel with a commitment to authentic adventures, an active lifestyle, and sustainability. Our U.S. journeys have ranged from backpacking on the Arizona Trail and the entire Pacific Crest Trail, to a hike to all 21 California Missions, and an epic road trip to 27 national parks.

Overseas, we have completed village to village treks in multiple European countries, including a Camino de Santiago route, half of the Via Francigena, and a hiking journey across Switzerland.

Wherever we trek, we focus on the cultural significance of the region and discover the area’s diverse natural beauty.
