I am a high school science teacher. I have been traveling with Explorica for 13 years, Leading tours to Italy, Spain, France, Scotland, Ireland, Costa Rica and Mexico. We've always had a wonderful experience. The last 2 tours have been adult only. The rest were comprised of students and adults. I love to travel with my family also, within and outside of the United States. Travel is a passion.
