Road Scholar

I recently had the pleasure of attending the Los Angeles Travel & Adventure Show in Long Beach, CA; and while I was amazed and captivated by many booths set-up, one in particular caught my eye. 

Road Scholar is for all of you who still have a passion to learn! It combines travel, to both domestic and international locations, with an in depth study of the history and culture of that place.

Sure as you look at the advertisements for it, or study the informational guides, it looks like it is normally full of an older generation; but since when is it not cool or popular for our generation to learn a few things. To me, travel is more than shopping! It's about discovering a part of the world you never could have imagined previously!

There are quite a few programs I am interested in, and they cover a variety of price ranges. I've listed a couple of the ones I am most excited about below! (I want to point out that I have not been on any of these programs, so I can not verify their awesomeness. I am only intrigued and interested in taking part in the future.)

America's City of History, Culture and Celebration
