OI Armchair Travelers: Georgia, Land of History and Tradition
Social distancing have you hungry for world travel? Join OI tour leader Tasha Vorderstrasse from the comfort of your home as she guides you through a journey of Georgia.

A land steeped in history and tradition, and home to spectacular monuments set in an imposing landscape. This Armchair Traveler tour revisits our 2015 OI trip and investigates the history of the region. The OI Armchair Travelers series is designed to give you a taste of OI tours. Led by academics, OI tours bring you up close to the ancient world. Traveling with the OI gives you unparalleled behind the scenes access, and the opportunity to experience the sites while examining current fieldwork.
