Meet the Team

OI Trips is the expression of the worldview, faith, and education of our team.

  • Tyler and Lauren Knight are Texans who have a heart for classical education through travel. They have lived many years in both the USA and England, and know how to pair American preferences with European experiences. Tyler received his Masters degree from the University of Oxford, and Lauren received hers from King’s College London. They both have developed and taught courses for American students abroad, and directed university study abroad programs. For the past 15 years, they have been curating trips for student groups that align with the academic priorities of their schools.


  • Tony is a French teacher by trade with more than a decade of experience in Christian education. His life-calling is to cultivate in others a deep appreciation for how God reveals himself through language, culture, and people. Tony views educational travel as an avenue for this work to flourish by creating a contemplative learning experience which invites students to connect their faith to the awe and wonder they experience while abroad.

    After having completed his Masters in Romance Languages, Tony received his Doctorate from Northeastern University where his dissertation was centered on the impact that international travel has on one’s biblical worldview. Informed by this research, Tony’s expertise specializes in student formation at the intersection of faith and European culture.
