History
History
Naomi Ramos-Acosta and Lori Neary, two high school history teachers who were driven by a shared belief that the world itself is the best classroom, dreamed of giving their students the chance to experience the cultures they studied firsthand rather than just reading about them in textbooks. They knew, however, that travel opportunities often came with financial barriers that left many students behind, so they decided to do something about it.
Turning their vision into action, they founded a nonprofit organization dedicated to making global learning accessible, raising funds and building support systems to ensure that students from all backgrounds could join these transformative trips. Through their efforts, history became something students could see, hear, and feel—walking ancient streets, tasting new foods, and connecting with people across cultures—turning abstract lessons into unforgettable, life-shaping experiences.

Naomi Ramos-Acosta
President
Having grown up in a military family (Go Army!), Naomi fell in love with history and travel, so much that she turned it into a career as a history teacher. Now a mom and wife with over 13 years of education under her belt, she decided to pivot from teaching, and move into adminiistration. Wanting others to experience the love for travel she had, she connected with her friend and co-worker, Lori to make their passion of travel and other culture a reality for students who cannot afford to do it on their own. When she isn't running around the world, Naomi loves to spend time with her family, read a good book, or baking.
