Although travelling with older people might not necessarily consist of mountain trekking, scuba diving, or a whole list of extreme sports, it can be a really fun time, especially on an inter-generational trip with their grandkids.

#StudyAbroadBecause it will make you a better person

Why you Should Teach English to see the World

Ever since I was little, I knew that I wanted a job that would help people… I just didn’t know what. Up until six months ago, I was a regular high school student. I was on track for going to college, and then working a 9-5 desk job that would probably not help anyone.

Through travel, I learned about jobs in ecotourism, ESL teaching, conservation, and translating.
