Journeys International and MEJDI Tours Announce Partnership for Cross-Cultural Travel

ANN ARBOR, Mich. and EVANSTON, Ill., Sept. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Journeys International and MEJDI Tours are excited to announce a new partnership rooted in the belief that cross-cultural travel can deepen global understanding and connection while delivering adventures of a lifetime.

The companies are co-branding a select line of immersive trips designed to help travelers see the world from new perspectives. The first collection of jointly promoted itineraries will introduce travelers to the Galápagos, Uganda, Mongolia, and the Balkans. Each trip is crafted to connect travelers with local people, offer hands-on engagement, and encourage curiosity, dialogue, and reflection.

"Our organizations share the belief that travel's greatest benefits come from learning across cultures, among people who would never have met otherwise," said Robin Weber Pollak, Chief Adventure Officer and Owner of Journeys International. "The partnership between Journeys and MEJDI will expand traveler access to opportunities that benefit individuals and communities."

MEJDI Tours is known for its multi-narrative approach that introduces travelers to diverse voices in each destination. Journeys International brings nearly 50 years of expertise in adventure and cultural travel, with a legacy of fostering meaningful experiences around the globe. Together, the companies are committed to helping travelers engage more deeply with the people and cultures they encounter.

"This collaboration is about offering trips that transform perspectives," said MEJDI Tours Co-Owner and CEO Aziz Abu Sarah. "By combining our strengths, we can empower more travelers to return home with powerful stories, insights, and ultimately greater understanding."

The first co-branded trip to Mongolia is now available. Other trips in the 2026 collection will be available on the Journeys and MEJDI Tours websites beginning late Fall 2025.
