As an active nerd, I spend at least half of my travel time chasing after artists - where they lived, worked, loved, and died. Most of my travel is around a theme, such as authors or artists, architecture, or historic events. Some of my favorite themed travel has included medieval France, gothic cathedrals in England, a Dylan Thomas pilgrimage to Wales, a Bronte Sisters pilgrimage to Haworth, and several trips to visit the sites associated with Jane Austen. I have a Gaudi pilgrimage in the planning stages to visit his buildings in Barcelona, as well as an al-Andalus tour to visit the sites of Islamic Spain.
I founded Nerds Tours because I don’t think the travel industry has us in mind. Nerds often have a hard time being a part of large tour groups that are designed around general interest. There’s never enough time or enough information to feed our brains. Nerds Tour specializes in themed travel around our nerd interests, whether it’s in the humanities, sciences, maths, or design or food or dolls or gardens or…. What is your nerd? The world is there for you to visit.
That said, nerds do love a cruise or a beach all-inclusive. I can’t wait for my next cruise because there are always nerd options.
Our Mission: Nerds Tour is a boutique literary tourism company that creates and delivers travel to places that engage nerd travellers who want to learn when they travel. We embrace the title of “Nerd” and are unapologetic about our active pursuit of knowledge in travel. Get in touch and I can help you create your nerd travel.
