Middle school students travel across the world in International Towne, thanks to support from long-time sponsor AAA Colorado.

International Towne students and families could learn a lot from Anne McAlpin’s presentation at the AAA Expo since she started her obsession for traveling as a student herself!  Anne learned to pack lightly from her first trip abroad – a student bike trip across Europe when she was 16. “We had to pack everything we needed for six weeks in our bike bags,” she recalls. “When you have to carry everything yourself, it really makes you cut-down on what you pack.”

During their day in International Towne, middle school students aren’t packing their bags just yet, but they gaining a hands-on lesson in global economics, thanks to AAA Colorado.

If you have some time this weekend, be sure to go check out the AAA 2020 Travel Expo at Empower Field.
