Careers at Offbeat Travel
Build your career with a team that's creating equity in travel while investing in your professional growth along the way
Working at Offbeat
At Offbeat Travel, above all, we believe in an inclusive space where all feel welcomed regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or any identity.
We are passionate about the transformative power of travel and want to create a world where it is accessible to all while ensuring the local population is treated fairly and equitably.
We like to travel
We like to take the dirt road as far as it goes, and then some. We believe that learning happens at the edge of our comfort zone and like to push ourselves closer and closer to it.
We love feedback
We know we are good at what we do, but we also know we can improve and want to learn how. We are open to and actively seek out feedback from our staff, clients, and partners.
We are not a family; we are a team
We work hard together toward our mission, but we know employees often grow beyond our organization. We support them in that growth. Calling our team a family feels disingenuous, and we don't like disingenuous.

A dream job.
My favorite summers have one thing in common: spending them working for Offbeat Travel. The team, the travelers, the local communities and the places we visit made my job a dream. Offbeat gave me the chance to go places, do what I love and meet like minded travelers who wanted to make an impact, who I now get to call friends.
More than a conventional job.
Being part of Offbeat is more than a conventional job, is a transformative and unforgettable experience, where you have the opportunity to be who you are and be able to create a positive impact in the life of others, during my trips and programs I meet people and places with amazing stories that marked who I am and how I think now.
