Founded in Australia in 1983, Rustic Pathways is imbued with the ambition and vision of the outback explorer. This legendary history built around adventure, energy and service places Rustic Pathways at the cutting edge of helping students discover the world within themselves. Through purposeful design, we create culturally immersive travel programs for students ages 12 to 22, customizable teacher-led trips for school groups, and gap year semesters for recent high school grads.
