International Travel Studies (ITS) has over four decades of experience with educational travel and in providing inspirational and uplifting experiences for people of all ages. Blending the brilliance of travel with the insights of eternal truths and perspectives provides for powerful and life changing experiences. Intentional travel and providing these experiences is our specialty! 


Our Team consists of gifted and talented leaders, educators, and directors who have dedicated their lives to study and learning, but who share a passion for travel, service, and in inspiring others to greatness. Our directors are especially skilled at teaching on-site and in creating teaching opportunities and moments that help maximize your learning experience. Travel naturally provides you with invaluable insights and education as you interact with different cultures, languages, customs, religions, and practices. That becomes extra meaningful and poignant as our directors help connect the dots and carefully provide you with experiences that give meaning and insight to life and enlightenment with the correct blend of travel and application of revealed eternal truths. Our International Travel Studies team will help you get the most out of your travel experiences and ensure that you are enriched, enlightened, educated, and will return a different and better person.
