Our March Encore Florence cohort took a day trip to the breathtaking walled city of Lucca, one of the many organized activities included in the program. 🏛️

They strolled through the city on a guided art walk, discovering Lucca's stunning architecture, historic piazzas, and the rich stories behind each iconic landmark. Pure magic around every corner.

Applications are now open for both upcoming cohorts: March 27 and October 26. The deadline to apply for the October 26 cohort is July 1. If you're 55+ and ready to experience Italy like this apply now: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/encore/jobs/5777245004?gh_src=24822b914us

Some places don't just impress you — they stop you in your tracks. ✨

This is our Encore Barcelona cohort exploring the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most breathtaking examples of Catalan Modernism architecture in the world. And yes, we walked right through it.

This is what a month in Barcelona looks like — not a guided tour, but a real, immersive experience with a community of curious, adventurous adults just like you.

Our October 2026 cohort is open and spots are limited. We are also accepting registrations for March 2027 now. If Barcelona has been calling your name, this is your sign. 👇

We're covering $1,000 of your flight to Barcelona this fall—but only if you enroll this April.

Here's what the study abroad for adults 55+ gets you: One full month this October living, learning, and exploring Barcelona. Spanish classes at a local university. Structured history and culture classes with your cohort, open afternoons to wander Park Güell or claim your favorite café in El Born. A community of adults who get that curiosity doesn't retire at 55.

This isn't a tour where someone herds you through a checklist. It's a month of becoming a temporary local, with the support and structure to make it feel doable, not daunting.

The $1,000 flight credit is our way of saying: If you're ready now, we'll support you. Link to join is in our bio.

The Encore Florence cohort took a group visit to Siena, a city known for its stunning medieval architecture. This city offers a perfectly preserved glimpse into the 13th-14th century.

This was a day tour organized by our team. When you join our Encore Florence program your days will be filled with activities from: language classes, art history courses, to dinners and day tours outside of the city.

The upcoming dates for our Florence program are October 2026 or March 2027. Will you join us? Register here: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/encore/jobs/5601313004?gh_src=24822b914us

It's never too late to learn a new language, and it's even better to learn it in its country of origin.

In the video, you can see Encore October 2025 participants in a language class activity where they got to practice communicating with their cohort and other people at their university.

Join us for Encore Barcelona in October 2026 or March 2027 to dive into the Spanish language and culture, and fall in love with the city of Barcelona.

Enroll this month for our October 2026 program and get a $1,000 flight credit. Link to enroll in bio.

Remember when a "field trip" meant a permission slip and a packed lunch?

This time, it meant a morning train ride with the Encore cohort from Barcelona to Montserrat, with mountain views that stop you mid-sentence.

Study abroad at 55+ isn't about checking boxes on a bucket list. It's about waking up in Barcelona, learning Spanish in a local university, and realizing you're exactly where you're supposed to be.

Encore Barcelona is filling up for October 2026 and March 2027. This month if you enroll in our October program you can receive a $1,000 flight credit for your program.
