Songwriting in Tajikistan

$6,000.00

September 6 - 13, 2026

Join Kevin Kennedy III and a small group of creators, songwriters, musicians, filmmakers, photographers, and adventurers for an unforgettable journey through one of the most remote and spectacular countries on Earth.

Nestled among some of the highest mountains in the world, Tajikistan is a land of rugged peaks, turquoise alpine lakes, winding mountain roads, and ancient cultures that have endured for centuries. Home to the legendary Pamir Mountains—often called "The Roof of the World"—this hidden gem offers some of the most breathtaking landscapes on the planet.

For one incredible week, we'll travel through dramatic mountain scenery, write original music inspired by the journey, connect with local culture, and document the experience as part of the Written Abroad series.

Why Tajikistan?

Imagine driving along mountain roads carved into cliffs thousands of feet above rushing rivers.

Watching the sun rise over snow-capped peaks. Sharing tea with local families in remote villages. Writing songs beside crystal-clear alpine lakes far from the crowds of the modern world.

Tajikistan is not a destination for ordinary tourism.

It's a place for explorers.

A place where adventure still feels real.

The remoteness of Tajikistan creates something rare in today's world—space to think, create, and connect.
