For over 40 years UC Davis alumni and friends have discovered the world together through the Cal Aggie Alumni Association. Time and time again, we hear from our travelers that their fondest travel memories involve the human element—fellow Aggie travelers, lecturers, guides, staff and the local community members we encounter during our programs. Aggie Adventures travelers have friends all over the world.
Exploring the globe with a spirit of relationship building is the foundation of every Aggie Adventures tour. Together we delve into the art, music, culture, industry, politics and community life of regions worlds apart from our own, getting to know the heart and soul of a place from the most credible source—the people who live there. Their mutual interest in our way of life often leads to rich cultural exchanges.
We invite and encourage you to learn more about our upcoming trips, which you can you view by clicking the yellow box below. More 2027 trips will be added during the first quarter of 2026.
