Traveler of the Month - Natalie Jones

Congratulations to Natalie Jones, our TFT Traveler of the Month for December 2011! Read below to see what Natalie has to say about her experiences with Travel for Teens.

Natalie in the Cinque Terre, Italy

I knew before I even left for my first Travel for Teens trip to Eastern Europe that I was going to have a fun time and maybe even learn a little history about places I had never seen before. What I hadn’t expected was the love for learning about (and even tasting) new things and places that I would acquire during my trips; throughout my experience with Travel for Teens I learned so much about the cultures and historical pasts of the places I was visiting, and Travel for Teens did a spectacular job of making everything we learned about engaging and interesting (something that most history textbooks have a hard time doing)!

Whether I was touring the Prague Castle or working for community service hours in Cinque Terre, there was never a dull moment.  Not only did Travel for Teens leave me with some unforgettable memories that I will cherish forever, but both my trips left me with life-long friendships with people I would have otherwise never had the opportunity to meet. 


Traveling to a foreign country full of new and exciting things to learn and see is an extraordinary opportunity, and Travel for Teens does a great job helping each camper get the most out of every trip. I had so much fun last year, and I can’t wait for another summer of visiting new places with Travel for Teens!
