At Explorica, we’re all about making cultural connections. And this blog is just another way to help you—as teachers, students, and parents—connect with the best educational travel experiences possible. Every week, we’ll post ideas to get you on your way. Like fundraising tips, travel advice or unique destination insights that we’ve collected from 11 years in the educational tour business.
We truly believe that experience is everything. And that includes building a website experience with rich information to help our travelers and tour leaders have a safe and rewarding educational trip. Easy things like what to pack. More complicated things like table manners in China or the right way to greet people in France. (Two kisses or three?) And then, some fun things just to get you thinking about how to select and customize your tour in Europe, Latin America or one of our hot spots across the USA. We’ll highlight must-do activities in certain regions and seasons—from ziplining in the Yucatan to strolling Christmas markets in Germany. Like to cut to the chase? We’ll also post quick lists of best-loved tours, local traditions and unforgettable trips you should add to your bucket list.
An Explorica educational tour will be one you’ll store in your “I’ll-never-forget-when” story banks for life. We don’t want you to miss a thing. So, if you’ve got a suggestion or a question, we’re all ears. Comment below to start a conversation here, on Facebook, Twitter or the old fashioned way. All connections are open. Welcome!
