About Teen Travel Network

At Teen Travel Network, teens have the unique opportunity to see and learn about the most iconic places on Earth. Student travelers are invited to explore new ideas and confront global challenges, all while having fun and meeting core learning objectives tailored to their travel. Programs are open to high school students ages 14-18 and are offered worldwide, including destinations across Europe, Asia and the Americas.

From locally-led experiences to thoughtful group discussions, students will see firsthand how immersive travel is not just about a place, it’s about people. Consider what meaningful goals you would like to set for your future and how the connections you form with your new network of travel companions will stay with you after your journey.

Our Mission & Program Pillars

Our mission at Teen Travel Network is to build confidence, curiosity, and connection in the next generation of global citizens through travel.

We accomplish this mission through our three Program Pillars of Confidence, Curiosity and Connection.

Confidence

Intentional travel instills in students the confidence to step outside their comfort zone and test the waters in a hectic and fast-moving world. Going places where most others don’t and becoming familiar with how to travel without your parents builds confident young people.

Curiosity

Considering the world through a new perspective fosters creative thinking and curiosity. Travel gives us the fortitude to test our curiosity. To get off the beaten path. To ask questions others are too hesitant to ask. To peek our head around the corner and wonder what’s out there?

Connection

Engaging with the world beyond our bubble is a source of thoughtful connection. Connecting to others who share your passion for traveling to places far away. Connecting to others from countries, cultures and backgrounds different than your own. And networking with each other to build community, both global and local, for the challenges that lie ahead.

Why Choose Teen Travel Network?

At Teen Travel Network, we believe that travel changes everything, and that young people benefit tremendously from stepping outside their comfort zone before heading off to college.

During their travels, students will be guided through their journey by Teen Travel Network’s intentionally curated curriculum, which is designed to take teens on a journey to uncover their personal vision, purpose and knowledge of themselves, as well as their role in the world.

Our students come away as more experienced young travelers and global citizens ready to engage with the wider global community, equipped with both a broader understanding of the world at-large and their possibilities to continue to meaningfully connect with it.

Unlike other travel operators focused only on checking off boxes next to big-name landmarks on an itinerary, Teen Travel Network prides itself on being that first, confident step for students to travel without their families, forge bonds with like-minded peers, and build networks with others that will carry with them long after they step foot back home.

Sure, you’ll of course still see the Eiffel Tower, Mount Fuji, the Washington Monument or other spectacular sites along the way! But between those landmark visits, you will also benefit from an intentionally designed experience meant to be shared with others, through meaningful peer-to-peer engagement and cross-cultural exchange.

When you join a TTN program, you’re not only taking a journey in miles, but a journey of shared experiences and self-discovery. And when you return home, you will be part of our incredible alumni network of young travelers who have experienced a global adventure few people get to experience in their entire lifetimes. A network for which you will have a lifetime passport.
