Often necessity is the mother of invention and in this case it was no different. As a parent that has dabbled in the student exchange world in varying degrees I saw that there was an opportunity to make this an easier experience. I have raised five children who have exposed me to the world of group student travel. Through being both a host and an exchange parent I saw that there were a lot of forms to fill out, return and a lot of messy, disjointed systems. Systems between the host parent/exchange parent and the exchange student and their host families and organizers. However the burden of this was mostly placed directly onto the organizer to ensure that everything went smoothly. I began thinking that there had to be an easier way for ALL involved and this was the birth of Group Travel Assist. So I wish you all well in the fantastic experience that is group and student travel. By using Group Travel Assist you will now be able to focus on the journey not the paperwork.
