When Tara was asked if she would like to go to Alaska for Road Scholars,
her response was "yeah, cool, do I get to climb a glacier?" Yup! And kayak
5 days through Prince William Sound and do a 20-mile backpack through the
amazing Chugach Mountain range. Better bring some sleep shades because this
is the land where the sun never sets. There's Girl Power happening on the
most challenging Road Scholars trip ever!

Take a girl from the prairies who has never been on a plane, never been more than 50
miles from her farm, and send her to...let's say... Hawaii! On her first trip away
from home Megan is ready for anything: surfing, sailing with a school of dolphins, hula dancing,
swimming, hiking up a volcano, mountain biking on the lava fields, and eating
weird and wacky food that definitely wasn't grown on the back 40.

No outhouses, no tents, no nasty critters! Not for Skyler! He goes first class
all the way in Martinique at an air-conditioned 4 star hotel with fabulous food
and white sand beaches. Skyler's challenge is communication! He's the only
English-speaking dude in a gaggle of 30 teenagers from France. So what is the
coolest way to say "you're so hot" to a Parisian girl in a bikini? Skyler comes
to dig the French style of sleeping in, gorging on croissants, climbing a
mountain for daytime entertainment and then dancing all night.

Who knew there was such a thing as whip school? Lash bruised, Barb gets a lesson in
wrangling from a one-eyed master on an outback ranch, then it's cow-milking and
kangaroo feeding as the first part of her Australian adventure. City Slicker
Barb is accustomed to singing in big concert halls. On this episode of Road
Scholars, she'll test the acoustics in a bat cave, sleep on the beach under the
stars and have nightmares about the sharks. Yikes!

You'd think that sailing would be old hat for a Nova Scotia boy like Erin but it's
all brand new when he boards the Pure Indulgence in the British Virgin Islands. He
quickly gets the hang of sleeping in a deck hammock, fishing off the back of the
yacht and racing as part of a fleet of 12 yachts all manned by kids 14-18. He better
love the sea because he won't be setting foot on land for almost 3 weeks.

come true for Lauren. A self-proclaimed bat lover, Lauren has no problem sleeping "rough"
or hiking through the jungles. She thinks the scorpions, tarantulas, cockroaches,
alligators, howler monkeys and all kinds of weird creatures are "cool". So who could
have predicted that her biggest challenge in Belize would be homesickness?

Imagine going to Europe with a bunch of kids and being allowed to plan where
you're going next and when. It's both a dream and a nightmare for Jennifer from
Montreal. As one of the few bilingual kids on the trip, she spends a lot of
her time translating for her American friends as they search for decent food,
a clean camp site or try to find the next train to Denmark, Sweden, Germany,
Belgium, and France.
