About Us

Shattering the barriers of travel and providing accessible avenues for everyone to embark on their dream journey since 2014.

The journey to Journey Crafters 

In 2010, we met while studying abroad in Florence, Italy. During our study abroad experiences, we encountered a world beyond textbooks and classrooms. This expereince forever altered our perspectives. 

Recognizing the immense value of our transformative journeys, we became acutely aware of the obstacles preventing many from pursuing their dream trips.

In 2014, we launched Journey Crafters. Through our company, we provide small-group travel opportunities to young adults. Our travelers embark on their dream journeys with their closest friends without having to compromise cost or safety through small group travel.
