“We travel because we need to, because distance and difference are the secret tonic to creativity. When we get home, home is still the same, but something in our minds has changed, and that changes everything.”
– Jonah Leher, Why We Travel
Cinnamongirls should see the world and the world should see Cinnamongirls!
Some people give children a globe, but Cinnamongirls get to experience the world firsthand!
We have designed a life-altering travel experience for girls poised to transform the world. More than mere sightseeing and cultural exchange, our cohort will be encouraged to overcome limiting beliefs, recognize misguided perceptions, and embrace informed global citizenship.
