This will be the first
Cultural Thursday emphasizing travel with a child. “It is so
important to include children in early cultural experiences,” Larsen
stated. “Their very presence opens conversations and doors. We can share
in their awe of first time experiences. They are filled with questions and
fresh perspectives. During this Cultural Thursday, my daughter, Maritza, will
be adding her input to our travel presentation of our journey to
Thailand.”
