The Traveling Gnomes

are a group of nomadic spirits on a mission to deepen connections, celebrate differences, and explore the world around us.

We plan and execute inclusive and accessible day trips and overnight trips alongside, and for, individuals with neurodiversities and disabilities.

Our Approach:

We believe in living life authentically and unapologetically. We take a wholehearted approach to create space within our community and the communities we travel to, to celebrate differences, welcome new conversations, foster mutual respect, and cultivate a sense of belonging through exploration and adventure.

Our Programs

Our programming stems from the idea that through travel, we unknowingly and automatically work on real-life skills in real-life situations. Within our extended day and overnight programming, Travelers will navigate new communities, practice flexibility, deepen relationships, enhance safety awareness, and strengthen self-advocating. Each person is challenged to mindfully practice self-care, take risks in order to conquer fears, and grow in the most unexpected ways. We not only hope to enable travelers to grow, but to further generalize and master their independence which will cultivate more successful future access to their community, world, and overall full human experience.
