Why Do I Travel?

About Ms. Verspieren

Travel is a wonderful education. I first went to Europe when I was a junior in high school on a tour with the Orange County Youth Symphony. It was a life-changing experience and I am delighted to offer this opportunity to my students. Our French culinary tour offers unique opportunities to experience French culture.
