Cultural Embrace offers unique educational and cultural packages that introduce you and your group to the wonders of international travel.  Our expert advice and knowledge of destinations goes beyond sight-seeing.  We specialize in integrating the traveler(s) with the local communities, for an authentic experience, through educational, humanitarian and cultural activities. 

While we pre-arrange all travel details so you can maximize your time abroad, we also recognize the importance of independent  time to explore and 'escape.'  Cultural Embrace customizes a balanced itinerary to meet your schedule, budget, interests, and passion.  We select the best local operators that provide quality bi-lingual service and information of the areas you are visiting.  Whether hiking to an active volcano by day and helping conservationists in Costa Rica preserve endangered sea turtles by night or traveling through China while learning how to cook traditional Chinese dishes, we hope you "Discover the Similarities - Share the Differences."
