Our Story
Formerly Study Buddy Educational Tours, 2 Degrees Transformational Travel was created to share our values around culture, the environment, and our place in it. We believe in the power of growing young minds, expanding perspectives, and teaching through travel. We use the beauty of Vancouver, Canada, to inspire and connect students to the world around them, from sustainability to new cultures and environmental awareness.
2 Degrees signifies what makes us different from other student travel programs. We teach how closely connected we are to the environment. Our program fosters the “Whom You Know” the “2 Degrees of Connection”, creating pathways both personally and professionally. It also emphasizes the behaviours needed to prevent a 2-degree rise in global temperatures. Most importantly, it refers to personal growth and our goal for participants to experience a 2 Degree shift in their perspective of the world.
The 2 Degrees Transformational Travel logo represents the 3 key elements of our brand: leadership, stewardship of the planet, and cultural exchange. The effervescence of the bubble-like graphic represent leadership. Secondly, Earth elements are represented with colours: green signifying life, dark blue signifying water, and light blue signifying air. Finally, Cultural diversity is represented in the textures.
