OrbisViator is a nonprofit informational and educational website. The site exists to share knowledge, stimulate curiosity, and facilitate learning. The site is not monetized in any way and does not accept any advertising revenue.

OrbisViator is a publication about arts, ideas, and travel provided through a boutique website. The website has a nonprofit, educational mission and is intended for the public good. Appealing to a wide audience, OrbisViator attempts to separate the signal from the noise that dominates the Internet today.

This site encourages browsing the links in the OrbisViator™ Directory as one would browse the books on a library shelf or at a brick and mortar bookstore. One should embrace “epistemological modesty.”


…I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

From the poem, The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost
