Be a traveler, not a tourist!
Be a traveler, not a tourist: meaningful and authentic teen travel. Our mission is authentic travel. We partner with local experts to create enriching experiences that teach teens to be savvy travelers. Every program is designed to be hands-on—emphasizing doing and feeling, in addition to just seeing, so teens discover what it means to live like a local in every country we visit. Travel isn’t just about new places; it’s about new perspectives. We encourage teens to step outside their comfort zone and into cultural immersion. They leave our programs with a better understanding of the world and with the confidence to keep exploring! We offer more programs in more destinations than any other teen travel company. With over 100 programs and 40+ countries to choose from, we’re sure our teens will find a program that’s the perfect fit. Ditch the tour bus and have a real traveler’s experience with us this summer!
