Hi! My name is Kami Roth and I am planning my 4th trip with students. This is my 13th year in education. Eleven of those years have been at a public school and the last 2 have been at a private school. I have taken students with school groups to Costa Rica, the Galápagos Islands/Ecuador, and Costa Rica. I've traveled with as few as 7 students and as many as 14. Parents and family members welcome!
