Who
We Are

We are democracy experts with a global network of inspiring changemakers. Brought to you by Democracy International—an organization at the forefront of democracy building for over 20 years—Democracy Journeys connects curious travelers with the people shaping more democratic and equitable societies around the world.

We know the power of engaging directly with influential voices because we've lived it. Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of working with government leaders, political candidates, cultural icons, youth innovators, activists, and journalists in more than 80 countries. These are the people on the frontlines of shaping their nations’ futures — and we are honored to call them colleagues and friends.

Now, we invite you to explore these countries in a new way — through the voices of those who have a stake in their future and stories worth sharing.
