Our Stories
Every journey leaves a story worth sharing. Here you’ll find reflections, articles, and updates—from personal encounters and faith-filled moments to cultural discoveries and behind-the-scenes insights. These stories capture the spirit of travel that connects us and remind us why the experiences we share continue to stay with us long after we return home.
Travel that Connects. Stories that Stay.
Another Chapter On The Silk Road
When our group set out along the Silk Road this autumn, we thought we were returning to a familiar story — one that TourMagination travelers, led by historian John Sharp, have traced for nearly two decades. We came to remember the Mennonite communities who journeyed across Central Asia in search of freedom and faith, eventually settling in Ak Metchet near Khiva, where they lived peacefully with their neighbors for 51 years.
Tracing the Untold Stories with Kimberly Schmidt
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to develop a brand-new tour—walking alongside a leading historian through castles, cathedrals, and cobblestoned towns, uncovering the stories that will shape the journey? That’s exactly what we experienced this past summer with Kimberly Schmidt.
Every Suitcase Tells a Story
A line that stays with us is shared by our museum guide at the Pier 21 Museum in Halifax: “Every suitcase tells a story.” It lingers in our minds as we wander through the halls, absorbing stories of the waves of immigrants who pass through Canada’s historic seaport, including Pier 21.
Tracing My Roots to the Alsace
Recently, I had the chance to explore my ancestral ties to the Alsace region of France, and it turned out to be an incredibly rewarding journey! Join us as we venture into the quiet village of Geisberg, where we uncover the ruins of an old castle, visit a quaint Mennonite church, and meet a local who knew of our family connections. Along the way, we made new discoveries, heard fascinating stories, and found artifacts—an experience that felt like a treasure hunt through history.
