Travel Pursuits
We are the only group we know of that offers the opportunity to travel through both space and time to destinations like Elizabeth Bishop’s Key West, Georgia O’Keeffe’s New Mexico or Naguib Mahfouz’s Cairo. What makes our travel special is the balance of in-depth discussion of illuminating readings, guided walks to immerse ourselves in the cultural and natural history of a place, informal talks about the context of our inquiry, generous free time and exceedingly convivial company. And of course, the flexibility to take advantage of unexpected serendipity. With Travel Pursuits you will not compromise the spontaneity, flexibility and sense of personal discovery you see in your own private travels – only the logistical hassles.
Our groups are small and intimate. They include singles, couples and groups of friends and family members. Many are repeat travellers. Moderate walking is required unless otherwise stated. Trips generally include characteristic, comfortable and well-located accommodation, two meals a day, ground transportation, admissions, excursions, guided walks, expert talks and gratuities.
In response to traveller preference, our trips offer ground arrangements only. Many wish to arrive early or extend their stays or use their airline points to travel. Worldwide Quest expertly arranges the ground arrangements for each trip to complement our literary theme. They also handle all bookings and are happy to book flights and help with pre and post-trip arrangements. We will send you the book(s) for discussion upon registration and, closer to the departure, a wide-ranging booklet that includes the detailed itinerary, destination tips, plus lots of fascinating background reading.
