our
story
SOJRN (pronounced so-jern) is a riff on the antiquated term "sojourn" which is both a noun and a verb that means "a temporary stay."
The all-knowing Wikipedia defines it as: A sojourn is an impermanent stay reached by journey, or a period of temporary residence.
We love the word and we're bringing it back with a modern twist.

team
Sojrn is brought to you by the travel-obsessed team at FTLO Travel, one of the coolest (our words) group travel companies for young professionals.
As a fully remote travel company, we know a thing or two about creating amazing travel experiences living and working abroad (in fact, it's one of the best parts of the job.)
We took all of that knowledge and turned it into Sojrn to help you "live" abroad, explore different passions, and connect with amazing new people.
Whether you're wanting to learn Spanish in Colombia, salsa dancing in Cuba, or Philosophy in Greece, we can't wait to show you the way.
why people
choose sojrn
"I’ve always wanted to live/work in another country, so I hope to get a feel for the country I visit from a non-tourist point of view (although I look forward to exploring). I’m also excited to meet new people, make connections and expand my knowledge in a field of interest. Sojrn sounds like it will be an enriching experience."
"I want to experience a different culture and way of life for a length of time that will make a meaningful impact on my life. I always say I want to travel more but I never go for it so this is me taking steps to follow through."
"I never studied abroad and hoped my company would eventually go international and I’d have an opportunity to transfer and live in another place. Once it’s safe to travel again, this feels like a great opportunity to temporarily relocate immerse myself in another culture without having to risk my job or limit my time abroad due to PTO."
