We would like to introduce to you the next generation of alumni travel. These are not common vacations but trips that submerge you in the culture and time of a place. They provide that same sense of discovery that was ignited as you embarked on your university career – going to a new place, learning from similarities and differences with others, and finding self. Continue discovering alongside the peers you started with.
GrizTreks can customize any itinerary to your specific needs and can even create a unique travel experience completely from scratch. GrizTreks are rounded out by the boutique accommodations, activities, and unique cultural encounters that you prefer. This is a brand new way to experience travel unique to your group.
