Here at Explorica, we are extremely passionate about two things: travel and education.
Our vision is to create a better world by enriching every student with a cultural experience through educational travel, because we truly believe that traveling creates better global citizens. Students who travel at a young age are extremely lucky, and are set up for success later in life!
Since we started in 2000, we have always said that travel is good for the body, mind, and soul. Recently, NBC News released a report relating to American travel habits. They reported that Americans are only half as likely as Europeans to go abroad, and cited scientifically proven health benefits of traveling abroad. Here are a few highlights of the study, which you can read here.
Travel can:
- Make you healthier
- Relieve stress
- Enhance your creativity
- Boost happiness and satisfaction
