Not many alumni communities share the experience of spending a summer selling door to door. The long days, the countless “no’s,” the lessons learned, and the growth that came with it created a connection that lasts long after the summer ends.
That’s what makes traveling together different. You’re not showing up with a group of strangers—you’re reconnecting with people who understand the experience, share the stories, and know what it meant to be part of something unique.
On these trips, you’re not starting from scratch. You’re simply picking up where you left off.
The adventure officially begins! Arrive in beautiful Amsterdam, get settled in, and let the excitement of our alumni getaway begin.
After your journey, there’s no better way to kick things off than with a group cocktail reception! Gather with fellow alumni, raise a glass, meet new travel companions, and reconnect with old friends as we celebrate the start of our Dutch adventure.
