Country Walkers began with a simple idea: explore the world actively, passionately, and with a commitment to authentically engaging with the local cultures. With this guiding principle we launched the company in 1979 from an old barn in Vermont. Although we were small, (and our office space rustic), our love for the beauty of the surrounding Green Mountains became contagious. Soon, we expanded from local to international destinations, introducing travelers to new landscapes and cultures around the world on foot.
