:
As someone who is married to a Honduran, I have traveled in Latin America various times. With Explorica, I have led two successful student trips with the last one being this past summer (2024) to Costa Rica. I love the Hispanic culture and the ability to see that culture/language first-hand through the eyes of young travelers.
