"One thing our students will never forget is the street food markets – I was so impressed by how willing they were to come out of their comfort zone. Some students were even brave enough to eat live eels! They absolutely loved all of the Korean food, and I was so pleased that they weren’t just offered western style food – something some travel companies often resort to."

Nikki and her school joined the Learning Adventure on a trip to Korea, so we spoke to her to find out more about her school’s program, their experience of Korea, and how the Learning Adventure helped them book an exciting, enriching school trip.

Today marks World Cultural Diversity Day, a day that highlights the richness in cultural diversity and emphasises the role of intercultural dialogue in shaping our world.

An educational tour is an enriching introduction to other cultures for many students. On our Golden Route Japan school trip, for example, students get immersive insight into Japanese culture, from the country's storied past to its traditions and customs. Along the way, they'll learn about how their cultures differ - and what they share - while getting an opportunity to embrace Japanese life.

Today also marks International Tea Day - and what better way to celebrate than with an immersive tea ceremony, led by a Zen master?
