Lena was born in Germany and lived abroad for 13 years. She has had a career in the tourism industry for 38 years. She started her own company, Entourage Management, in 2005. Lena says that, "Student travel builds independence and confidence. Being in a new environment encourages students to make decisions, manage their time, and adapt to unfamiliar situations. And along the way, we get to have a great time exploring a new destination as well." Lena enjoys being a volunteer with the Florida Water Warriors because she enjoys supporting the students and educational team on the boat field trips and being apart of educational travel in a different way.
