As the birthplace of the Icelandic Sagas and the Prose Edda, the source text of Nordic Mythology, this Nordic country is steeped in magic, mythology, and folklore. Recent surveys suggest that more than half of native Icelanders believe in the existence of elves, and the otherworldly surroundings of Iceland's natural wonders might make a believer out of you, too!
Our journey begins in Iceland's capital of Reykjavik, where we will explore the city and meet with a local historian to earn our diplomas in Icelandic Folklore. We then head out on a private guided tour bus around Iceland's famous Ring Road to visit with locals and hear their stories of the Huldufólk, or hidden people, of Icelandic Folklore. Along the way, we will explore amazing sites famous for sightings of trolls, elves, and even a sea monster! We will visit black sand beaches, volcanoes, ice caves, glaciers, geysers, waterfalls, Icelandic ponies, and more!
Our trip will also take us to filming locations for popular movies and TV shows such as Thor: The Dark World, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Captain America: Civil War, and Game of Thrones.

Dive into history in Salem, Massachusetts, the site of the famous 1692 Salem Witch Trials. On this trip, we will visit museums and explore Salem alongside local historians and folklorists to learn the real stories of the Witch Trials and Salem’s legacy in US History.
Our trip will also take us to some famous TV and film sites from hit movies like Hocus Pocus, Joy, and Hubie Halloween, and TV shows, including Bewitched, Castle Rock, and more!
With a daily schedule combining mythology, movement, history, and witchcraft, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the hysteria behind the witch trials, learn local folklore, and build community with fellow travelers. Grab your hat and broom and join us for summertime in Witch City, USA!
