• It changes how you view yourself.
• 92% of EF travelers feel more comfortable
in new and different cultural settings.

3. HOW IS TRAVELING WITH EF
EDUCATIONALLY AND
CULTURALLY BENEFICIAL?
• The best teacher is real-life experience.
• It brings the culture and language to life!
• Finally the students are seeing it, eating it,
breathing it, speaking it, experiencing it
• The grand epiphany
• They finally get it because they are surrounded
by it, they are living it.
• It promotes understanding, cultural respect,
language learning and global citizenship.
• Appetizing college applicants and employees
• You will acquire skills that make you
marketable: communication and global
competence.
• PS. I will write a letter of recommendation for
every kid who comes.
• Gains in confidence
• Nothing builds greater confidence in a person
than getting them out of their comfort zone.
• Navigate new experiences and adapt to change
with confidence.

meaningful for everyone who comes.
I have experience:

abroad.
We have rules:
• ABSOLUTELY NO DRINKING!
• We have a curfew every night and lights out. Each
chaperone will be in charge of a set of kids.
• Wherever the kids go, a chaperone goes as well. This
includes free-time.
Our trip will be safe:
• EF only takes us to safe places and provides us with a local
tour guide who takes every precaution to keep us safe and
to help us out.
TRAVELER EXPECTATIONS:
• Students are expected to be on their best behavior while on
this tour and will be held to a set behavior standard.
• If a traveler violates my rules, I have the right to send them
home from tour at the parents’ expense.
• I only invite my best behaved students on these tours to
ensure that we all have a good time, including me!
