On May 31,1972, language teachers Jim Phelan and Bob and Edeltraud Green formed the nonprofit corporation that today, 50 years later, is known as Xperitas. This organization has faced many situations that have interrupted international travel over the past five decades, but none quite as far-reaching and long-lasting as the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had.
But just as the founders must have felt such a sense of purpose and excitement as they signed the articles of incorporation, so too our team has a renewed sense of purpose and excitement as we head into spring, for it brings with it signs that the world’s desire to travel is bursting at the seams, and that our ability to travel safely, confidently and without restrictions is getting stronger each day. 2023 promises to be a banner travel year! Best of all, our host families can’t wait to welcome Xperitas students into their homes after this long hiatus. Annick Léger, one of our French Family Stay Coordinators writes.
Our host families are so excited to help Xperitas students discover la France in 2023!
