The Silk Road Design Encounter is for Art Lovers Who Are Drawn to the Unknown
Are you one of those art lovers who craves the adventure of exploring unknown cultures, connecting with local people, and bringing home something unique and beautiful that you’ll cherish forever? But sometimes, all you get is a generic tourist experience where you’re not sure if you or the artist is being ripped off?
We Understand that Many People Aren't Able to Enjoy In-Person Travel to Remote Places Today
Many people simply don't have the time and/or money to take advantage of that kind of memorable behind-the-scenes travel. The logistical hassle of international travel has become a nightmare. And besides, in today’s world, accessibility, health and safety concerns often make it seem too risky to travel to those exotic locations.
The True Magic of Travel Comes from Deep Connection
But it's not really about time or money, or even physical travel. The magic comes from who you meet and how deeply you are able to engage in meaningful interaction on your journey.
