The ideal learners for my mini course are adults (18+) who possess foundational curiosity about the world but feel hindered by complex travel itineraries and the creation of said agendas. This course will be designed for beginner to intermediate-level travelers who seek to go above package tours and more towards authentic, self-directed global experiences.

 

These learners are adults who speak at least an intermediate level of English, are motivated to maximize their travel experience, and have a modest to mid-level travel budget.

 

Prior to joining the course, these learners will have needed to travel internationally at least once and know how to navigate a mobile GPS (e.g., Google Maps), use a translation app (e.g., Google Translate or Microsoft Translate), have basic digital literacy skills like navigating a website or taking an online quiz, utilizing Excel (or similar tool) to create a budget and calculate numbers, and are somewhat advanced in spotting online scams.
