Hi all! This is my 2nd international and educational travel trip that I have led. The first trip was with EF and I took a group of students to Costa Rica. I decided to give Explorica a try and so far they have been awesome to work with. I believe, whole-heartedly, that boots on the ground learning is paramount to understanding the world around us.
