  • Description

    Travel for Teens believes that teen travel should be both fun and enriching. Our programs feature choice in what you do, see, and experience, a dynamic that sets us apart from superficial tours that herd large groups from one site to another. We offer Hidden Europe, Thailand, Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Fiji to be lived, absorbed, and remembered - with access unavailable to the public and unobtainable as a tourist.

    Travel for Teens has grown exponentially over the years, from one trip to Paris in 2003 to 35 programs covering 24 countries on 5 continents today. In Europe, Thailand, Southern Africa, the United States, Costa Rica, Australia, and New Zealand, we visit the best of the mainstream attractions while offering the opportunity to explore the culture from a less touristy perspective. We interact with our host cultures, taking cooking and dance lessons, performing valuable service work to help local communities, and conversing with the people who have spent their lives living in the places we journey to.

    We have crafted our unique programs to engender love for travel, hunger for learning, curiosity about differences, appreciation of similarities across cultures, and an understanding of what it means to be a global citizen. We look forward to traveling with you!
