What we’re about
Travel and Culture Group in Omaha is a gathering of great people who enjoy culture, food, fun, and travel! This group was created for those who want to learn about other cultures and destinations all around the world, try new things, and meet new people. Whether you’re from Omaha or beyond, new in town, an exchange student, traveling through Omaha for business or pleasure, or any other reason that brings you to Omaha, this is your group!
The mission of this group is to share stories, knowledge, and experiences and to create opportunities to share our love of our hometown with those who share our love of travel.
We’re looking to bring people with varying travel opinions and tastes together– whether you’re an independent traveler, road-tripper, globetrotter, destination/resort vacationer, scuba diver, backpacker, snow-bird, couch-surfer, cruise line enthusiast, RV folks, or someone who wants to explore more of Nebraska and its surrounding areas.
You are hereby invited to our monthly travel meetups where you can enjoy events like destination talks, trivia nights, open forums, etc. (typically on Wednesday evenings), to our dinner nights where we explore different restaurants around Omaha, and other special events we plan for our members. Our group members are a great source of info about various destinations all around the U.S. and the world, travel deals & resources (domestic and international), fun local events/activities, and networking!
On behalf of Travel & Culture Group in Omaha we look forward to meeting you soon!

Greenland - July 17-Aug 2, 2026 (16 day tour)
Please note this is for next year, 2026 :)The largest island in the world is calling … Get ready for the Arctic adventure of a lifetime!
I’m thrilled to announce that the Travel & Culture Group has an upcoming trip to one of the most rare destinations to step foot on; Greenland! Get ready for next summer: from July 17 to August 2, 2026, we’ll be sailing with HX Expeditions on their extraordinary Mythical Lands of the North itinerary.
This isn’t just any expedition—it was personally handpicked for our Travel & Culture group by Alex McNeil, one of the most respected leaders in polar travel and a world figure in the sustainable growth of Greenland and the founder of the Arctic community engagement organization. I was able to speak with Alex directly, explain our group and our previous adventures, and ask his input for us; he selected both our itinerary and the July 17th date specifically for us, ensuring we visit during the most ideal time of year for wildlife, weather, and epic Arctic scenery.
Here’s why this trip is so special:
Greenland today is like Iceland a century ago—before mass tourism, before roads connected everything, when adventure still felt untouched. This is that moment for Greenland. With traditional Inuit villages, no road networks between towns, and vast wilderness unspoiled by development, Greenland remains one of the planet’s last true frontiers—but not for long. As Greenland opens up and tourism begins, this is a rare chance to experience Greenland in its purest form before it becomes modern and developed.There’s nothing more exciting in life than to have the opportunity to explore one of the most remote and awe-inspiring regions on Earth—with the perfect ship, the perfect route, and the perfect group
