GSWISE is traveling the world and we want you to join us! In 2022, we’ll be Journeying Down Under to New Zealand and Australia on an incredible 12-day tour to see exotic wildlife, beautiful nature, and fascinating indigenous cultures. Experience the traditions of the Maori people at a Hangi feast in Rotorua. In Sydney, see kangaroos, koalas, bearded dragons, and, in Cairns, snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef. Global travel fosters independence, communication, problem-solving, and takes girls beyond their comfort zone providing an appreciation for new cultures.
