Learning the Art of Travel Program

Introduction

After we receive your registration materials, we will send you the first of three parts of our program manual that expand on the points you see below. You can start to familiarize yourself with some of the information and lessons in preparation for your trip.  Parts two and three will be given out while you are on your journey as we are not only guiding you through the destination country, but more importantly, guiding you in hands-on practice of these ideas and methods. Whether it’s planning alternatives to get from point A to point B, finding a place to stay and something to eat, or trying a new way to record it so you can remember it, we’ll be showing you the “how” of international travel at a grass roots level.
