The biggest part of my job as a group leader is to set the expectations for my group BEFORE we depart. International travel, and group travel work differently than anything my students have really experienced before. I like to meet with my groups four times before we depart, so that everyone has had a chance to become acquainted and has heard about how they can best be prepared for our tour.
I would highly suggest planning a few meetings before your tour to get everyone on the same page. I like to start in January for my June tour. I know that it is April, and you might be thinking..."am I too late?" Its never too late! Just get your group organized and then get together! Here are a few of the topics that I like to address with my groups:
Travel Safety
Foreign currency and budgeting spending spending money
Packing
What to expect for the day to day schedule of an educational tour.
What to expect for hotel rooms and food.
What sites we will see, special historic places
What all the details about these topics and more? Click here to check out my Before Departure page, and steal all my resources!!!
What other things do you plan to prepare your group for? Comment below and let me know!
