Founded in 1982 Academy Travel is a full service agency specializing in customized travel arrangements for groups. Our typical client is a college or university professor, minister, or institutional travel planner who wishes to organize a travel program for his or her particular group--students, congregation, alumni association, museum--and is looking for something a little out of the ordinary.
Julene is the “founding Mother” of Academy
International Travel Services, Inc. In 1982 she organized Academy Travel to address what she
saw as a real need at that time—custom designed educational programs to
colleges, universities, churches, and museums. Now, almost 40 years later,
Academy Travel produces between 25 and 30 customized educational travel
programs each year—all over the world. Julene and her historian-archaeologist husband Max Miller are especially well known for their educational tours to “off the beaten track” places.
Eric Moore comes to us from the world of academia. He has taught at various institutions including his alma mater, Emory University (PhD, 2017). His book, Claiming Places, traces origin stories in the ancient Mediterranean world. Despite the countless hours spent in the classroom and library, some of Eric’s most formative learning has taken place while traveling. Particularly enlightening trips include archaeological digs and seminars in Bulgaria and Turkey, respectively, and summer stints in Spain, China, and Jordan. At Academy Travel, Eric creates customized group programs for clients who also wish to experience “learning through travel.”
