We were inspired by the spirit of discovery, wanted to travel off the beaten track, and decided to share our unique travel experiences with others.<\/p>\n<p>Starting with trips to North Korea, YPT quickly expanded its horizons to include some of the most remote, exotic, and inspiring destinations in the world. With over a decade of experience creating unforgettable journeys, we focus on what matters most to you, our fellow pioneers: immersing yourself in different cultures, connecting with locals, making new friends, and pushing the boundaries of adventure travel.<\/p>\n<p>Each of our trips is designed around your interests. We ask ourselves if each new itinerary excites us personally to ensure your journey with YPT is filled with unique memories that will last a lifetime. Join us to discover the world in a way only true pioneers can!
