Our mission
Travel should be so much more than a tourist’s journey.
By immersing ourselves in our host culture, an appreciation develops for nuances and differences that add richness and value to the experience. With an emphasis on doing and feeling, in addition to just seeing, our unique programs create global citizens. Our programs engender love for travel, hunger for learning, and an appreciation of different cultures. We invite you to join the Travel For Teens family as we explore the world and discover what it means to be a traveler, not a tourist.
Travel For Teens started in 2003 as a small, family-run business providing teens with an authentic experience in Paris.
Today, the TFT family has flourished and operates over 100 different programs in over 40 countries! Our values and mission remain the same no matter our growth – inspiring youth to ignite a passion for travel and discovering new cultures beyond the traditional tourist path.
The Travel For Teens staff looks forward to traveling with you!
Our staff represent 49 different nationalities, speak a combined 21 different languages, and have visited 142 different countries. With so many unique experiences to share, you are sure to gain a global perspective!
We make safety our #1 priority.
We take safety seriously. Our well trained, knowledgeable staff and thorough preparation ensure that our programs run safely and smoothly each summer.
Authenticity is ingrained in everything we do. Eat, stay, and travel like a local.
