About TNR Travel

The New Republic’s travel program is designed in the spirit of our political, social, and cultural content. TNR’s excursions started with our iconic Cuba trip and, in collaboration with socially conscious travel company Mejdi Tours, we are now offering a range of destinations. 

Mejdi Tours bring the essence of a place alive through meetings with locals—from political activists to historians, artists, musicians, chefs, and taxi drivers. Guides are chosen for their profound knowledge of a destination and its people, as well as their ability to inspire the curious traveler.

In partnership with Mejdi Tours, we focus on destinations that are not only culturally fascinating but have a political history that we’ll explore and learn from. We curate our trips for progressive thinkers and thoughtful travelers who want to be immersed in the community and cultures we visit. Expect to enjoy local food and wine, music, dance, and art, during what we hope will be one of your most memorable vacations ever.

Your safety is priority number one. You will travel with responsible organizers and hosts, using safe transportation, and will not venture into areas deemed unsafe.
