About Us
Academy Travel is a specialty agency focusing on 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.
Eric Moore, President
Eric Moore comes 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. Some of Eric’s most formative learning has taken place while traveling. Particularly fruitful 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.”
Julene Miller, Special Consultant
Julene remains an inspiration to Academy Travel. In 1982 she organized the predecessor of the current company in order to meet a neglected need: providing customized educational programs for colleges, universities, churches, museums, and curious travelers of all stripes. Now more than 40 years later, Academy Travel follows her example, producing finely curated educational travel programs all over the world. Though retired, Julene supports Academy Travel in an advisory role.
