Real and imagined barriers have isolated countries like Afghanistan, Yemen, Mali and Iraq from international trade and tourism. The result is that pathways to some of the world's most extraordinary places, people and cultures have narrowed, or in some cases, disappeared altogether. We have come together with partners from across the world to restore these pathways once again through a unique blend of travel, craftsmanship and story-telling. By doing so we hope to change one-sided narratives, while creating economic opportunities where they are desperately needed.
