From the moment they pick up their passports, they discover one incredible destination after another. We help them plan their trip, or they can design their own itineraries. Whether it's a trek through the desert to a pyramid, a jaunt to the port to help unload a cargo ship, or a stroll through the bustling market bazaar, children will encounter endless ways to learn about the world and gain an understanding of each other."
