The most RAD educational experiences happen on adventure.
We believe travel is one of the best student growth tools. Seeing a new place, a new language, a new culture changes how kids see the world and themselves. We want to be the ones who make that first trip happen, safely and without the headache.

RAD travel is smooth travel.
We've seen what can go wrong on student travel, so we work to ensure a seamless experience from the school’s trip announcement to the final student drop-off.
Group student travel has a lot of moving pieces, and a lot of ways for those pieces to go sideways. We've spent years learning exactly where trips break down, so we build every itinerary to avoid it.
Confirmed Routes
Two schools with nearly identical names, thirty minutes apart, can confuse a GPS. We confirm every venue ahead of time and check for signage on site, so your group never ends up in the wrong place.
Voucher and payments
Meal vouchers and park credits get miscounted more often than you'd think. We track exactly what your group is owed at every stop.
insurance and liability
Plans for unexpected downtime
We carry our own coverage so your school isn't left exposed. Ask us for a certificate of insurance any time.
A "free hour" booked in the wrong part of town isn't actually free time. We scout locations ahead of time so your students have somewhere safe to relax.

we're Jessica
and David!
We're an school counselor and a lineman. One of us works with students daily, managing all the emotions that come with being a teenager. The other spends his days solving problems forty feet in the air during storms.
We are former vacation planners who love traveling and love introducing students to the joy of adventure.
Between the two of us, high-pressure situations don't rattle us. That's exactly the skill set your student trip needs.
Hi,
What Travelers Are Saying
"Jessica and David are a dream team. They did a great job leading our trip around Chattanooga and hikes around the area. They took us to some of the most beautiful spots and were incredibly knowledgeable about the area and its history. It was so great to just relax and let them do all the work in navigating the trip so we could enjoy every second of it without any stress."
- Joe Carter
"You wouldn’t want anyone else to lead you! Jessica is confident, knowledgeable and above all…passionate. She turns every trip into a true adventure with lots of laughs along the way. Our trip through Peru was so memorable and in a huge part was due to Jessica and her ability to navigate issues discreetly even under pressure and still be able to lead with kindness and ease."
- Kayla Manuel
"Jessica Ramírez is a phenomenal guide! Having worked alongside her for many years as Tour Directors in Alaska and the Yukon Territory I’ve been able to see her effortlessly lead groups of 45 guests traveling over 1,300 miles!"
- Brian Roquemore
“Jessica was organized, prepared, and responsive every step of the way. She shared the right information at the right time without overwhelming us, welcomed everyone in the group, and handled unexpected changes with ease. Her love for Alaska was contagious, and she made sure there was something for everyone. We came home with incredible memories and a new appreciation for the places we visited.”
