No. Our trips are open to anyone with a genuine interest in learning about Diaspora communities around the world.

Safety is a top priority. We work closely with our local host community, licensed guide, and trusted operators in each destination to ensure we only visit sites that are considered safe at the time of travel. If security conditions change, we will adjust the itinerary accordingly. Private and government security is provided in every destination where it is needed.

These trips are designed for adult travelers (age 18+) who are curious, respectful, and genuinely interested in learning about unique Diaspora communities around the world.

Our pricing is based on shared rooms in clean, comfortable four star or best available hotels. A single room supplement will always be available for travelers who prefer their own room, subject to availability.

The trips are not physically demanding. Activities mainly involve walking and standing during tours, and no special level of fitness is required.

Our optimal group size is 15 to 20 participants. To ensure a meaningful and cohesive experience, we will not run a trip with fewer than 10 people. We offer private tours upon request.

Yes. We require a brief application before joining a Project Diaspora tour. These are not mass market trips. We visit Diaspora communities in sensitive and sometimes complex environments, and it is important that all participants understand the context and responsibility involved. The application process helps ensure a respectful, cohesive experience for both participants and the communities that host us.

Project Diaspora goes beyond standard tourism. Our mission is to give curious travelers the opportunity to document unique Diaspora communities whose stories risk being lost as populations decline, through small group journeys that venture beyond traditional Diaspora heritage itineraries. We visit destinations most heritage tours avoid and balance historical sites with meaningful encounters and conversations with members who continue to live, work, and sustain community life there today.
