Travel For Teens: Barcelona and Paris

I had so much fun in Spain and France. From the food to the locations to the people it was a blast and TFT made sure to guide us and give us the freedom to explore how we wanted. I have such amazing memories and met awesome people from this trip and would love to go again.

I had the time of my life on this trip! Not only was I able to visit one county I have always dreamed about, I was able to visit 2! Especially at 15, I never thought I would have the opportunity. We visited famous landmarks and ate authentic food all while still having a "native" experience. The counselors felt more like friends, which made the group feel like a tight knit family. I was able to make lasting friendships that I will forever cherish and memories that will last a lifetime! Thank you Travel for Teens!

This was my second year attending a travel for teens trip and I have loved every moment of it. This past trip to Barcelona and Paris was truly an incredible experience that I will never forget. Not only did I love the friendships I made with people who I still talk to to this day but I also just love the opportunities that I was able to have because of this trip. These were two places that I had never been to before and after this trip, I want to go back immediately. I loved how we got to immerse ourselves in the culture of both places while still being able to have fun and experience life away from home. This trip was the perfect balance of learning and gaining new knowledge along with enjoying a relaxing summer and a beautiful country. My favorite thing that we did in Barcelona was the Bike Tour because I loved being able to see a lot of the city at once and learn from a local about the incredible history of the area. While in Paris my favorite thing was visiting the Eiffel Tower and trying all of the incredible food pastries and desserts. The staff was amazing and truly helped make this experience one of a kind, Not only were they light-hearted and funny and kind but they were also intelligent and knew a lot about travel and about different areas, therefore They were able to teach me lots of new great information.

I traveled with Travel for Teens on the Barcelona and Paris Explorer trip for 8 days. This was the best 8 days of my life, it was my second time ever visiting Europe and my first time traveling all by myself. Upon arriving in the airport and meeting with my group, everyone was super friendly and the counselors were super inviting. When we got into the cities it was initially a shock about the authenticity of of our travels. It felt like I was living like a local, being allowed to walk around my my new friends and choose where we want to go, from walking everywhere and taking the public transit it felt like I was authentically experiencing the cultures of these cities. What I took home from this trip was a newfound confidence in myself and my independence. I have also made a lot of lifelong bonds with my peers on the trip.

This was my very first trip with TFT and I have nothing but good things to say about it. The whole trip was well organized and allowed the perfect balance of educational experiences, like bike tours of the city's history, and relaxing activities, like a nice day at the beach. Not only was the trip amazing, but the people were so welcoming and I was able to make lifelong friends. We had the opportunity to try crazy new foods, like escargot, and one of my personal favorites was trying all the different gelato flavors. Definitely a trip I will remember forever!

Barcelona and Paris: two AMAZING cities and 10 days. What an adventure! This trip was so much fun, exploring the cities and immersing ourselves in the culture. The itinerary was full every day with different activities for us to participate in, as well as having some built-in free time to explore the cities. The counselors were super supportive and amazing people to have on the trip with us. This trip and TFT gave me the opportunity to explore yet another country in the world and learn the art of being a traveler and NOT being an artist! 10/10 would recommend

Awesome trip. Had an absolutely fantastic time, meet great people and got to explore some amazing places. My favorite part was the exploring Barcelona on the bike tour. Inspired me to take a Spanish college class.

Travel for Teens will give you an experience like no other program. They truly immerse you in the culture and the society. The counselors are caring and trained for any obstacles that may come. The other travelers are friendly and you are guaranteed to make life long friends.

I absolutely loved going on this trip! It was honestly the experience of a life time. I went with my sister and I had the best time. I had never been to either place or country before, and it was a great introduction. Everything was so organized and I felt so safe and protected, I wasn't scared or nervous at all. Everything activity we did added so much to our experience there. We saw every aspect of each culture and really dived in. We got to experience behind the scenes of peoples lives, much different than if I were to go with my family because we would only see touristy options. Travel for Teens gets the travelers into the real culture. The food was amazing, and it was amazing meeting people my age that were also in love with traveling. I made friends that I still talk to today. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life and I'm so thankful for it!

I had the best time on this trip. It was truly the experience of a lifetime. The people, food, and activities were amazing. Everyone was so friendly including the counselors. I still talk to some of the people I met on the trip every day. In addition, the food was amazing. I tried new foods and turned out to love them! Lastly, the activities were incredible. We did everything from going to the soccer stadium to visiting the Eiffel tower to going on a boat cruise at sunset to visiting the Gaudi measure. Everything was incredible! I loved the trip so much that I even decided to go on two more the next summer! I highly recommend!
