Learning Holidays

Inspiration for your own tailor-made trip

From learning the art of meditation with Buddhist monks in Cambodia's hilltop temples to being taught about the inspiring local sustainability-efforts in Costa Rica's Osa Peninsula, take more than memories of a lifetime back home with our collection of inspiring learning holidays. According to writer Malcolm Gladwell you need 10,000 hours to truly become world class at anything, but we can certainly get you off to a good start with our Masters of the Universe collection of learning holidays. This contains some of our favourite experiences to gain a deeper connection with a destination whilst learning a new skill on holiday and 'transforming yourself' (...and you'll earn some excellent bragging rights). Whether you're wanting to learn a new skill in sport, art, cooking or perhaps something a little more unusual, here are just a few of the tailor-made learning experiences that we can arrange on your Original Travel holiday.
