About Terra & Tu
Terra & Tu Cultural Journeys are founded on the belief that travel is most powerful when it invites us to experience/encounter how others live, to understand what they value, and to appreciate the richness of enduring traditions that shape their lived experience.
Founder Finlay Bressler was steeped in the ethos of experiential travel from a young age. His father, Ben Bressler, founded Natural Habitat Adventures, focused on small-group journeys dedicated to the conservation of nature and wildlife. While Finlay, too, loves the natural world, he is also deeply drawn to people and culture, and their relationship to place. Initially, Finlay worked in the mental health field, where he was fascinated by how many modern wellness movements, from mindfulness to eating locally, tap into deeply held cultural practices. That curiosity led to a defining question: What would travel look like if it were designed not around monuments and checklists, but around cultural insight and meaningful encounters with local people in tradition-based communities?
Terra & Tu grew from that curiosity. Our journeys focus on living culture, experienced directly through authentic engagement rather than staged performance. In 2025, Natural Habitat Adventures partnered with Terra & Tu to launch a new collection of cultural journeys. Built on decades of operational expertise and a trusted small-group model, Terra & Tu brings the same meticulous design and high standards into the cultural realm.
