I have traveled all over the world and want to share my love of experiencing new cultures. Girls who travel the world become the women who change it. I’ve been a Girl Scout leader for 9 years and especially enjoy traveling with high schoolers. Trip is open to high school boys/girls and their chaperones (if they want).
