Why AVE[LOOK]?

Aveluk (Ավելուկ : mountain sorrel) is a plant native to Armenia, commonly found in Armenian cuisine, but so little spoken about, which reminds us of our villages and our dadiks, our grandmothers.

In all we do, we aim to always look beyond the obvious. Students’ stories show what it feels like to be present in the places we explore, revealing the transformative power of travel through inspiring examples and anecdotes.
