Past Trips
Highlights from our First Stamp Adventurers trips
Orientation at Trinity University
All of our First Stamp trips begin with an on-site orientation at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. Our group meets in person for the first time and prepares for the full First Stamp experience and their trip abroad.
London
In London, the group toured Windsor Castle and Trafalgar Square. We also watched Wicked the Musical and visited Big Ben, the Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, and the British Museum.
Paris
In Paris we explored the Champs Elysees, saw the City of Lights from the top of the Eiffel Tower, and visited the Jardin des Tuileries. We’re especially grateful to American Friends of the Louvre for hosting us during our private tour of the Louvre!
Rome
In Rome we visited iconic landmarks like the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, St. Peter’s Square, the Vatican Museums, and the Catacombs. We also met with UN staff, visited the American Academy in Rome, and enjoyed a Pasta cooking class.
Oxford and The Costwalds
We explored the University of Oxford and Stratford-upon-Avon. We experienced the English countryside, toured iconic Stonehenge, and visited the birthplace of William Shakespeare. We even saw one of the Bard’s plays at the renowned Globe Theatre back in London.
Athens
We visited the ancient landmarks of the Acropolis and Parthenon with a local storytelling and historian. And we enjoyed a nearby beach and ate delicious local foods at greek cafes and even met the owners.
Normandy
In Normandy we visited Overlord Museum, the Omaha Beach, and Normandy American Cemetery. We also explored Mont Saint-Michel Abbey and were taught how to go clamming in the bay by locals from the area.
