  • 🌏✈The countdown is on!✈🌏 Our next group of excited students and teachers will meet their GLE Tour Manager, Heather, bright and early this Friday morning at the airport, ready to begin their adventure. 🕔With a 14-hour time difference from Melbourne, we’ll be stepping into Autumn in a country that uses dollars (but not the same as ours!). 🗣 No language barriers when we land, but get ready for some different names for things — and of course, the accents! 🌟We can’t wait to see you all at the airport on Friday morning for your tour launch. Let the life-changing experiences begin!🌟 #GlobalLearningExpeditions

  • After a few months of quiet on social media, we’re excited to share why! 📢 As travel specialists, we've been doing what we do best — exploring the world with students and their teachers. Plus, we've been hard at work creating an incredible new tour, all while preparing for our upcoming adventures later this year. Introducing the "Go USA" tour, launching in January 2026 during the school holidays! 🇺🇸 This 10-day journey offers two fantastic options: San Francisco and Los Angeles, with the choice of either Seattle or San Diego. It’s a jam-packed itinerary featuring iconic experiences like Disneyland, Universal Studios, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Hollywood. But that's not all—students will also spend a day at an American school, shop at an outlet mall, and experience the thrill of an NBA basketball or NHL ice hockey game. If you're a teacher who wants to provide your students with an unforgettable learning experience—or if you're a parent seeking an enriching travel opportunity for your teen—let's connect! Contact us at info@glexpeditions.com to discuss how we can make this adventure a reality. #StudentTravel #EducationalTours #GoUSA2026 #ExpandHorizons #TeacherAdventures #GlobalLearningExpeditions
