“TRAVELING HAS SHIFTED MY PERSPECTIVE. I found meaning behind the saying ‘it’s about the journey, not the destination,’ and realized my biggest moments of growth happened during the little moments.”

2024 Itinerary
ORIENTATION
Our First Stamp experience began with an on-site experience at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. Our group met in person for the first time and prepared for the full First Stamp experience.
LONDON — PART ONE
We hit the ground running in London, where the group toured Windsor Castle and Trafalgar Square. We also visited Big Ben, the Tower Bridge, and the Tower of London.
LONDON — PART TWO
We had behind-the-scenes access to the House of Parliament and exclusive personal meetings with the Hunza G management team, a former British Broadcasting Corporation executive, and the marketing team from Chelsea Football Club women’s team. We also visited the British Museum and saw Wicked the Musical.
OXFORD, SHAKESPEARE
We explored the University of Oxford and Stratford-upon-Avon. We experienced the English countryside, toured iconic Stonehenge, and visited the birthplace of William Shakespeare. We even saw one of the Bard’s plays at the renowned Globe Theatre back in London.
PARIS — PART ONE
We took the Eurostar train from London to Paris for our final leg of the trip — the City of Lights! We saw the Champs Elysees, took a trip to the top of the Eiffel Tower, and visited the Musee Rodin and the Jardin des Tuileries.
PARIS — PART TWO
The personal tour of the Louvre was
a highlight for all. We were able to spend time and learn about the remarkable art in this world-renowned museum. We are grateful to the American Friends of the Louvre for their hospitality during this amazing visit.
