Lené Jefferson

Ann Arbor, Michigan

As one of 22 siblings (yes, I said 22!) I grew up with parents who had compassionate hearts and adopted 18 children, making us one big, mostly happy family.  My first experience with international travel was in college when I participated in a three-week study trip to Belize and Guatemala and it opened my eyes to an amazing world.

After twelve years of teaching, my life path led me to Journeys International. Over the course of my 20 years here I’ve had some amazing experiences. From snorkeling in the Galapagos to white water rafting in Costa Rica, exploring Machu Picchu in Peru, meeting orangutans face to face in Indonesia, participating in Guatemala’s Semana Santa Festival, and most recently, a cruise to the wildlife capital of the world – Spitsbergen. Words can’t describe how these experiences have impacted me and opened my heart, to a beautiful and colorful world.
