When I decided to take my students abroad, I wanted more than just a trip—I wanted an immersive learning experience that would bring our curriculum to life. France was the perfect choice. Here’s why:
📚 History You Can Walk Through
Reading about the French Revolution? One thing. Standing in the Place de la Concorde where history happened? Next level. From the beaches of Normandy to the halls of Versailles, history isn’t just a subject—it’s an experience.
🥐 Culture, Language, & Daily Life
For my French students, this was the ultimate classroom. Ordering croissants in a Parisian café, navigating metro stations, and engaging with locals helped them practice their skills in a way no textbook ever could.
🎨 Art & Architecture That Inspires
Seeing the Mona Lisa in real life, standing beneath the stained glass of Sainte-Chapelle, and walking the same streets as famous writers and philosophers… France is a masterpiece waiting to be explored.
🚀 A Student’s Perspective Shift
So many of my students had never traveled abroad before. This trip wasn’t just about France—it was about showing them a world beyond their own, expanding their perspectives, and inspiring them to dream bigger.

When I took my students to Costa Rica, other teachers were like:�😲 “That seems SO complicated.”�🙅 “I could never do that.”�🤯 “How did you even plan that??”
And I’m over here like… GEC made it the easiest thing ever. 😂

When I decided to take my students abroad, I wanted a destination that would:�✅ Connect to our curriculum�✅ Offer real-world cultural immersion�✅ Challenge students to think beyond their own experiences
Vietnam checked every box. 🇻🇳✨
🌏 History comes to life.�We studied the Vietnam War in class, but standing in the Cu Chi Tunnels? Seeing the War Remnants Museum firsthand? That’s an entirely different level of understanding. 📚
🍜 Food as a gateway to culture.�Our students got to learn and taste—cooking authentic pho and spring rolls with local chefs, sitting down for meals with host families, and understanding how food tells a story.
🚲 Daily life outside the classroom.�From navigating bustling markets in Hanoi to biking through rice paddies in Hoi An, students weren’t just observing—they were experiencing what life is like in a completely different part of the world.
📊 Students want to travel abroad.�Studies show that 75% of students say they want to travel internationally before graduating. But many never get the opportunity. Seeing my students thrive in Vietnam proved that travel isn’t just a luxury—it’s an education.

🌍✨ Why I Chose Morocco for This Year’s School Trip 🇲🇦
I wanted a destination that would surprise my students. Somewhere beyond the usual classroom lessons—somewhere they’d feel history, culture, and adventure all at once. And that’s why I picked Morocco.
🏜️ The Sahara at sunrise – Because nothing puts life in perspective like watching the sun rise over endless dunes.
🏰 Ancient medinas & vibrant souks – A maze of colors, spices, and history in every corner.
🍊 Fresh-squeezed orange juice in Jemaa el-Fnaa – A small but unforgettable taste of local life.
🕌 The call to prayer echoing through Marrakech – A moment of culture, connection, and reflection.
🐪 Camel treks & Atlas Mountains hikes – Because learning isn’t just about history—it’s about adventure, too.
My students won’t just see Morocco. They’ll experience it. And that’s why I knew—this was the trip.

😂 POV: Your students thought they could survive the whole trip on chicken fingers… 🍗❌🌍✅
Travel isn’t just about history and culture—it’s also about discovering that yes, there’s food beyond the kids' menu! 🤯 From fresh empanadas in Argentina 🇦🇷 to sizzling street food in Vietnam 🇻🇳, our trips teach students life skills like adapting, trying new things, and realizing that not everything needs to come with fries. 🍟🚫
Tag a fellow teacher who knows the struggle! 😂✈️

🤔 "Do I really want to lead the school trip this year?" ✈️🌍
At first, I thought about sitting this one out. The planning, the responsibility, the herding of teenagers through an airport… was I really up for it? 😅
But then I pictured:
🇪🇸 Watching my students’ faces light up as they step into the Sagrada Familia for the first time
🥘 Their reactions to trying real paella (not just the cafeteria version)
💃 The joy of them attempting flamenco and realizing it’s harder than it looks
🏛️ Hearing them say, “Wow, history actually is cool” at the Alhambra
And I knew—I couldn’t miss this. Some lessons can’t be taught in a classroom, and some moments you just have to be there for.
So yeah… I’m leading the trip. And I’m already counting down the days. ⏳✨
