The Road Less TraveledTaking The Road Less Traveled is the adrenaline rush you get from running a class III rapid in a canyon so deep you can't see the tops of the rock walls; the rainbow scintillating through the spray of a waterfall we just happened to stumble upon; the shadow a mountain casts on the world below at sunrise... It is shouting out your order for a kilo of tomatoes in a noisy street market in Sevilla or being invited into a monk's quarters for tea in a small Northern Indian monastery. It's paddling a boat filled with sand and small rocks to make cement on a remote beach in the San Blas Islands... The Road Less Traveled is removing ourselves from the familiar spaces we know too well, and venturing into places that inspire us not only to explore our surroundings, but also ourselves.

Travel for TeensTravel for Teens is founded on the belief that summers (and now spring break) are meant to be fun, and that the best learning comes from experience. Endowed with an insider's knowledge of every location we visit, we offer trips all over the globe for kids to live, absorb, and remember - with access unavailable to the public and unobtainable as a tourist.
Our programs feature choices of things to do, see and experience--so different from those superficial sight seeing tours herding everyone to one site after another. Our programs stay in each location we visit long enough to give you the chance to try on a new lifestyle and culture with your friends, living the life of a native. Travel locations include: France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Austria, Hungary, Holland, Belgium, Czech Republic, Ireland, England, Scotland, Switzerland, Thailand, Fiji, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa
