It’s back! The #ExploricaEmployeeTakeover is returning to your Instagram feed on Monday, June 25.
This summer, Explorica employees will be joining several student tour groups, and they’ll be using Instagram to give you an inside look at our educational adventures around the world.
Meet the staff members who will be taking over our Instagram feed starting Monday, June 25:
Laura Jones
Explorica office: San Diego, CA
Tour & date: Dublin & the UK, June 25-30
“I have always heard great things about this tour, so I am excited to visit Dublin & the UK with Explorica. I have never been to Northern Ireland or Scotland so I can’t wait to experience the culture, meet the locals, and see the beautiful countryside.”
Lesley Noone
Explorica office: Boston, MA
Tour & date: Dublin & the UK, June 25-30
“I am really looking forward to experiencing one of our customized tours first hand! Plus I have never been to Scotland before and I can’t wait to see what Edinburgh has to offer!”
Annamaria Sanders
Explorica office: Richmond, VA
Tour & date: Madrid & the Costa del Sol, July 1-6
“I’ve always wanted to go to Spain, and when offered the opportunity, there was no way I was turning it down! I can’t wait to experience the rich culture, history, and the delicious food. Paella anyone?!”
Melissa Barrett
Explorica office: Boston, MA
Tour & date: Barcelona, Madrid & Andalusia, July 7-12
“I chose this tour not only because I’ve never been to Spain (or Morocco!), but after reading the detailed imagery of Barcelona in Dan Brown’s new book Origin, I am excited to see everything up close and personal. Plus, how can you go wrong with tapas?”
Catie Martin
Explorica office: Boston, MA
Tour & date: France & Italy, July 13-18
“I’m so excited to explore Paris, Nice, Florence, and Rome! I’ve never been to Rome so I can’t wait to experience the history and culture.”
Isabel Flynn
Explorica office: Boston, MA
Tour & date: Italian Highlights, July 19-24
“I had the most amazing experience in Italy on my high school’s trip with Explorica, so I thought it would only be fitting to continue the tradition now as a staff member! Pizza and gelato here I come!”
Kelli Smith
Explorica office: Boston, MA
Tour & date: Italian Highlights, July 19-24
“I choose this tour because four years ago I visited Rome for a weekend but it just wasn’t enough. This time I’ll get to explore Venice, Florence, Pisa and Verona too! I’m excited to see more of Italy — but mostly excited to eat more pizza and gelato!”
