Do you love
to travel? Wouldn't it be even more fun to see the
most exciting places in the world in the company of
people who share your philosophical viewpoint?
A few years ago, a couple
of Objectivists who value travel thought it would be fun
to do it with other Objectivists. They contacted
AHI International and the first trip for Objectivist
Travelers was organized in 1999 with Switzerland as its
destination. That excursion was such a success
that many of the original group continue to travel with
us year after year.
Why
is it such fun to travel with Objectivists? It's
not that the trip is heavy with philosophical
discussion, but rather that the unique nature of these
experiences becomes even more extraordinary when shared
with people of like mind.
So far, we've explored
such diverse areas as Switzerland, Ireland, Norway, the
Northern Lake District of Italy, Tuscany, Provence,
Scotland, Greece, Lake Constance, Germany, and Sorrento
and Orvieto, Italy. Plus, in May of 2005, we traveled
to York, Pennsylvania, our first destination in the
USA. Our next adventure is planned for September
30th through October 9th when we'll be visiting Spain's
Andalucia region.
Traveling with us is not
your usual "If this is Tuesday, this must be
London..." experience. Our hosts, AHI
International, draw upon many years of experience
to arrange for week-or-longer stays in towns that are off the beaten
path, yet still close to the sites we want to see.
Our guides have always been exceptional for their
knowledge as well as their appealing personalities;
they're rarely stumped no matter what the question and
we've never left a country without feeling that they have
become firm friends.
Add to that a mix of
interesting local people who socialize with us and experts who
give us insight into the history, art or architecture of
the day's sights. There are always thrilling
extras such as tea with Lord O'Brian in his manor house
in Ireland or
cooking lessons in a centuries old hunting lodge in Provence. And to top it all off,
you get to discuss your new experiences and insights with others who share your basic values.
Join us in September,
2008 for our next
journey.
You'll see why
many people think this is the most fun they have all
year!
