Young people can travel far without moving.
The vivacity of a youthful imagination is more than a mere stereotype; young learners have the ability to flex their creative muscles beyond the walls and windows that confine them.
But sometimes this imagination can be stifled by the necessary boundaries of an institution.
But educational excursions to the right places can unlock young minds and bring a little magic to learning through travel.
Here are four wonderful places for young people to visit.
The Beauty of Iceland The fertile fields of this green land - perhaps unfairly named - are famous.
High on the roof of the world, students would be forgiven if they expected Iceland to be merely icy.
But its rising popularity as a destination for school trips is reversing this archaic false assumption.
This sparsely populated northern wonderland will haunt and stir the imagination with its cavernous mountain peaks, smoking hot springs, magnificent glaciers and innovative modern culture.
But perhaps the real magic that will ignite young minds lies in a glimpse of the iconic Northern Lights (the Aurora Borealis) setting fire to the arctic sky.
The Grace of Rome Some cities cast their spell on the imagination long before a traveller sets foot in them.
Rome, once the eternal centre of the universe, has long been famous for its class and iconic verve.
Students on school trips to Italy's capital will find themselves thrown into the midst of a unique hubbub of awe-inspiring ruins, captivating fashion, rushing traffic, irrepressible art, languid cafes and unforgettable restaurants.
Perhaps it is the way that Rome stirs the imagination with its own heady flavour, not to be found in any other city in the world, that has made it an inspiration and a home to countless eager young learners.
The Energy of New York Many artists have found inspiration in bucolic ease.
But place young artists on school trips in the chaos of New York and a wholly different yet equally vital spark will be set off.
An icon full of icons, New York is a cultural bank with a wealth of flavours, sights, performances, characters and styles.
From the verdant Central Park to the art in Manhattan, the hue of the Statue of Liberty to the history in its many museums and galleries, the city has an irrepressible energy that will have young heads spinning with thoughts and ideas long after they have left.
The Flavour of Madrid Cities that sit at the head of roads long-travelled usually become rich in culture and diverse in heritage.
Madrid is a city that is not just the capital of Spain; it has also become a long-time collector of footprints, stories, cultural landmarks and flavours from many travellers that have passed through its orbit over the centuries.
Students on school trips here can taste of the stews, tapas, and Moor-inspired sweets and take their minds on a vast journey via their tongue.
