Co-Founders
TripSchool is a mission-driven organization.
“We started TripSchool to help improve the travel industry, with creative and innovative ideas for how powerful a travel experience can be, when done right. We believe that being an Experience Creator is an incredible responsibility: to our travelers and to the planet and cultures we work in, to do something really special and transformative. Travel changes people. It leaves a lasting impact on their lives. Our goal is to help tour guides, tour directors and tour operators take their craft to the next level.”

“You can’t get a better education anywhere on the planet than from TripSchool, hands down. There’s simply no comparison with TripSchool, none!”


“Thank you for your wisdom and support. TripSchool is the best decision I’ve ever made (and you can make if you are trying to get into the travel industry). The information received left me excited, some left me scared, some made me cry, but we always had laughs. You guys are beyond amazing!”


“TripSchool is unique, a life & career changer and I can’t thank Mitch and Alan enough for sharing their knowledge, providing amazing support and giving us tools, tips and confidence to dazzle our guests.”
