Welcome to the Travel Club!

I live in New York City and work for Reach the World. I help connect students like you to travelers and explorers every day. This time, I get to be a traveler! Fun fact, this is my first time EVER traveling to Europe! It will be as new for me as it will be for you!

  • Michael Granne - "Greetings! Michael Granne, here. I have been to more than 60 countries, was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Cape Verde, and regularly travel to Europe and Brazil for my job. I speak Italian and Portuguese fluently. I’m so excited to share our travels and experiences with you!"
  • Shelley Norton - "Hi! My name is Shelley! I live in Chicago and work for the travel company that planned this trip. I can’t wait to interact with you and share our journey! I grew up traveling around the world because of my dad’s job, so I consider it an honor to be able to bring the world to you now!”
  • Tom Norton - "Greetings young travelers! It's no mistake that Shelley and I have the same last name. I'm her Dad! We traveled the world and lived internationally while I built large, commercial ships (ships that help businesses rather than ships that move people for cruises). I lived on a canal boat in France, enjoyed the U.K. on an English Narrow Boat, and cruised extensively through the U.S. on intercoastal waterways. I look forward to meeting you on-screen to share our experiences."
  • Molly Parker - "Hello students! My name is Molly. I am very lucky to join this trip with my husband, Chris, who works for Reach the World. I live in New York City and I am a nurse.
