Hi! My name is Dinah Claus and I am a high school Spanish teacher. I have been traveling with students since 2009. I love working with this age group and seeing how excited students get when gaining new experiences. My leadership style is relaxed . . . but safety is ALWAYS my number one priority on tour!
