Collections

At Epic Explorations, a Journey doesn't always begin with a destination. Sometimes it begins with a question, a story, a landscape, a person, a tradition—or something we can't stop thinking about.

Our Collections bring those ideas together. Each offers a different way of exploring the world, connecting Journeys through the stories, experiences, and curiosities that inspired them.

You don't have to decide where you want to go. Start with what fascinates you.

Some wonders were built by ancient civilizations. Others were carved by nature. Some appear on famous lists, while others are barely known beyond the people who live nearby. These Journeys go searching for the extraordinary—and leave room for each traveler to decide what deserves to be called a wonder.

Some people have an idea they simply cannot leave alone.

They paint. Build. Collect. Restore. Invent. Preserve. Perfect. Sometimes for years. Sometimes for generations. And occasionally, what begins as one person's fascination becomes something extraordinary enough that the rest of us travel across the world to experience it.

Beautifully Obsessed follows those stories.

These Journeys seek out artists, makers, collectors, craftspeople, visionaries and wonderfully determined individuals whose passion has shaped a place, preserved a tradition or created something that simply wouldn't exist without them.

Some stories are best discovered at a table, in a field, or alongside the person who has spent a lifetime making something well. A glass of wine can lead us into the landscape that grew the grapes. Black Alentejo pigs can open a conversation about land, farming, and tradition. Jamón, prosciutto, or a city’s particular devotion to mustard can tell us something about the people who call that place home.

A Sense of Place follows the foods, drinks, ingredients, and makers that belong to somewhere. We go beyond tasting to ask how these traditions began, why they endured, and what they reveal about the place itself.

Food, agriculture, wine, livestock, craft, tradition and innovation become pathways into culture. These Journeys follow the relationship between people and land—from vineyards and farms to kitchens, markets and generations of knowledge.

These Journeys explore a destination through the people who live there—their traditions, neighborhoods, art, food, history, celebrations and everyday rhythms. Cultural Immersion is about getting beneath the surface and discovering what gives a place its identity.

Epic America explores the remarkable, peculiar, beautiful and sometimes overlooked stories of the United States. Rather than treating America as one Collection, it becomes a collection of Collections—different lenses through which we can explore the country.

American Crossroads
Places where history, culture and ideas collided and changed America.

American Originals
People, places and traditions that could only have happened here.

Made in America
Craftsmanship, manufacturing, innovation and the people who still make things.

Wild America
America experienced through its landscapes, wildlife and natural heritage.

Journeys Within explores travel as a catalyst for reflection, growth, creativity, wellness and personal discovery. The destination matters—but so does what we discover about ourselves while we're there.

Sacred Journeys explores faith through geography, history, archaeology, culture and human experience. Some Journeys follow Scripture. Others explore sacred traditions, pilgrimage, reconciliation or the ways belief has shaped communities and civilizations.

Some Journeys refuse to fit neatly into a category. Strange landscapes. Unlikely stories. Wildlife encounters. Remote places. Curious traditions. Happy accidents. Wild and Unexpected celebrates travel that begins with the irresistible question:

"What in the world is that?"

And then we go find out.
