Founded in 1965 in Sweden, EF (Education First) is a global association of education companies that share a common mission of opening the world through education. Some companies are in the business of banking. Others are in the business of shoes. Or sports. Or soft drinks. At EF, we're in a different kind of business. One that's a little less tangible, and a lot more important. Because our business, what we make, makes everything else possible. We're in the business of understanding. Between people. Between cultures. For over half a century we’ve been the leader in international educational programs and experiences designed to foster such understanding. Through language, cultural exchange, academic studies, and educational travel, we create the kinds of immersive experiences that challenge biases, open minds, and pave the way for a more understanding world. You’ll find our offices and schools located in some of the world’s greatest cities, and filled with smart, driven people (over 50,000 of us) who push each other to be better every day. But it’s what we do together - building greater understanding, breaking down barriers, and creating a better world - that makes all the difference.

We’ve always believed that travel isn’t just about where you go — it’s about how it changes you. From the very beginning, we set out to do things differently. No cookie-cutter tours. No giant buses or cruise ships. Just real people, venturing out into the world with open minds, open hearts, and a sense of purpose. For over 35 years, we’ve been creating life-changing experiences that connect travellers with the communities they visit — not just passing through, but showing up with care, curiosity, and intention. We call it community tourism, and it’s been in our DNA since day one. But we’re not just a travel company. We’re a people company. Powered by the passion of our team, the heartbeat of our local partners, and the energy of every traveller who’s ever said “yes” to something new. To travel your heart out is to go all in. To move through the world with compassion, courage, and joy. It’s about embracing the bizarre, celebrating the beautiful, and connecting with something bigger than yourself. It means leading with love — for the planet, for people, and for the possibilities that come with saying let’s go. We don’t do this to fill passports. We do it to fill lives. To build connection. To create joy. To leave the world better than we found it — one step, one trip, one ripple at a time. This is travel that goes way beyond travelling. This is G Adventures. And we’re just getting started.
