Mostly people traveling on their own — plus couples, families with children, teachers, retirees, and small church or corporate groups. Travelers have ranged from age 12 to 80, and for many it is their first trip outside North America. Groups run 7–12 people.
Most travelers join alone. Roommate matching pairs you with someone of the same gender, and the group eats, works, and travels together from the first day.
Children 12 and older travel well on these expeditions with a parent. The work is hands-on and the days are full, which suits teenagers better than passive sightseeing.
