  12. My approach to safety My 6-to-1 chaperone ratio (for every six students there is one adult chaperone) Most of our hotels will have wifi. EF also offers international phones you can purchase very affordably. My rules -No drugs, alcohol, or nicotine -Stay with group at all times -Stay in your hotel room during hours set by chaperones -No guys in girls’ rooms/ no girls’ in guys rooms -You must attend all scheduled events -Always let an adult know where you are going no matter how close by it is If a traveler (student or adult) violates my rules, I have the right to send them home from tour at the parents’ expense.

  13. What are you responsible for? Spending money for optional excursions, free time activities, souvenirs, beverages, lunches and snacks ($30-$65 per day) Tips for your Tour Director, bus driver and local guides (around $10 per day) Passport and/or visa fees (no visa fees at this time) These are all necessities each traveler will be responsible for on this tour.

  14.
