My son, Andy Steves, has worked hard to create his own student travel company, Weekend Student Adventures. And these days, he's far better established in the foreign study world than I am. Through Andy's work, I realized that a huge number of people are involved in foreign study. After talking with Andy about this summer's NAFSA (National Association of Foreign Study Advisors) convention in Vancouver, we decided to join him there. Booths aren't cheap, but it's the biggest travel fair I've seen, and the people there all share the same travel philosophy: Let's make friends with the world! Here's a quick video clip that captures the energy of this show (featuring Andy's booth ' and his staff, and ours). For more about our new vision to help equip teachers with helpful materials to enhance their foreign study work, see my Rick Steves for Teachers website.
