Maybe you've been to Italy, but have you immersed yourself in its cuisine and culture beyond the major cities? Go off the beaten path in Southern Italy and explore charming seaside towns. Dig in to the local flavor, whether it’s a slice of fresh focaccia, a beachside gelato tasting, or a cooking class in Rome. We’ll experience the concept of farm-to-table firsthand during visits to a buffalo mozzarella farm, a family-owned olive grove, and a small-batch chocolate factory.

Japan is an island nation of contrasts. Neon lights pulse and shine on century-old temples, monks walk alongside anime cosplayers, and Zen meditation is practiced in the same parks that people take selfies. Japan has perfected the balance of ancient and modern, as well as their famous cuisine!

These trips are open to all high school students in good standing. FCPS is not the sponsor of these international educational tours (FCPS FS-151). Being independent of FCPS allows Ms. VanPelt to offer these travel opportunities to a wider variety of travelers (even graduating seniors!) and gives the group more flexibility in itineraries and dates.
Our tours foster FCPS Portrait of a Graduate skills and embrace the Madison High School mission statement: To develop creative and resilient global citizens.
Ms. Rachel VanPelt is the group leader for these educational international tours. Please contact Ms. VP at WarhawkWanderlust@gmail.com
