Travel the L&E Way

Our travel experiences are designed around three core values:

  • Explore: Discover new destinations, traditions, and perspectives.
  • Learn: Gain life skills, cultural understanding, and global awareness.
  • Experience: Build confidence and independence through adventure and teamwork.

From London to WhistlerParis to Vancouver, our travellers dive into hands-on experiences that go beyond sightseeing — connecting with people, places, and purpose.

The best thing about Teen Travel is definitely all the new friends I made and all the new people I can talk to now because it’s always fun to get to know new people.

  • Safe, fully supervised travel with trusted L&E staff

Who’s it for?

  • For 13-16 year olds
  • For individuals and groups throughout the year. We can accommodate any size groups above 6 but have a preference to create smaller travel groups (6-12) to gain genuine travel experience.
  • For individuals, groups of friends, youth organisations and schools
