Educational travel itineraries
built from the student up
Los Angeles, USA
Our L.A. trip is structured to give the students that attend a glimpse into a world that often appears unreachable. Visiting sound stages at Warner Bros. Studios, wandering the backlot at Universal or having one-on-one time with a tour guide at Sony Pictures (often runners, production assistants or auditioning actors with lots of helpful experience) begins to demystify the Hollywood machine for budding creatives. Being part of a live taping of talk show keeping one eye on the guests and one eye on how the show is being run, allows for Students to see what they have been learning about in a classroom play out at some of the highest levels of production.

About LA
More than that, though, is watching students become excited about the world and their future in it. Yes, information is key. Students will often return better informed about their subject, with clear career goals and a high bar to measure their own projects against. It is the creative fire that is lit through this experience, however, that is the real takeaway for us at Tripbooth.
​
Whether through something as simple as food or shopping, or something more abstract like an atmosphere or vibe, very few of the Students that come on these trips return without new ideas.
​
And it never gets old for us. Seeing them realise the scale of the world as they look from Griffith Park Observatory’s deeply humbling and epic view, watching their reaction as their voices bounce around the vast Hollywood Bowl or listening to their excited gasps as props from their favourite movies, only ever seen on a flat screen, appear before them: real, tangible… within reach.
​
More than anything, Tripbooth love when the heart and the head combine. Seeing a Student who has spent the previous year with no direction suddenly abuzz over wanting to become a foley artist or a Student with no confidence desperate to travel further, to see more.
​
These are the moments Tripbooth can’t show in a launch event but they are the moments that made us want to start running transformative trips for young people. We believe that travel does broaden the mind, but we also believe it should fuel the spirit. So much as we at Tripbooth want our trips to educate, we also want them to inspire.
