Empowering US students with the essential tool for global independence and international discovery.
At Expanding Boundaries International, we believe a passport is the first step to a bigger world. Since our founding in 2014, we have worked to close the gap in travel and education.
"Our founder, Leticia Nortey, did not use a computer until she was 16 years old. Later, a study abroad trip to China changed her life forever."
That journey inspired the mission to ensure every student, from Baltimore City to Carroll County and beyond, has the same chance to explore their potential.
