Traveling will help form more compassionate, thoughtful, and educated human beings. Experiences that go far beyond the classroom.

Did you grow up with Lilo & Stitch? I was a bit older when it came out, but Lilo & Stitch is a favourite amongst my peers and definitely with my 10-year-old daughter. This adorable pair has been charming viewers for nearly 25 years since the movie came out in 2002. Now there is a Live-Action coming out this Friday, May 23rd!
The live-action remake offers a heartfelt way to share the original Lilo & Stitch magic with your own children. Blending emotional storytelling, colorful Hawaiian settings, and a touch of sci-fi mischief, the new film is a family-friendly reboot that also brings new LEGO sets designed for creative, screen-free bonding time.
