Our story
We've been doing this since 2009.
What started as a small program bringing students to Thailand has grown into something we never could have imagined. And we're just getting started.
Where it began
Loop Abroad
In 2009, Addam and Jane Stine founded Loop Abroad with a simple idea: give students the chance to travel the world and gain real-world experience while they do it. That first trip to Thailand was the beginning of everything.
Over the years, Loop Abroad grew into one of the most trusted student travel programs in the world. Today, Loop operates in 15 countries across 6 continents, and has helped thousands of students experience the kind of travel that changes how you see the world.

Meet the founders
Jane & Addam Stine
Jane and Addam have traveled to over 100 countries together. They've navigated border crossings, wildlife encounters, and every kind of travel hiccup imaginable, and they've loved every minute of it. Their passion for travel, and for helping others experience it, is what drives everything we do at Stine Travel.

What's next
Stine Travel
After more than 18 years of leading group travel, we wanted to open the door wider. Stine Travel is our way of offering the same quality, care, and expertise we've built through Loop Abroad to anyone who wants to see the world.
Whether you're joining one of our open-enrollment trips or bringing your own group on a custom adventure, you'll have the full weight of our experience behind you. We handle the logistics, the bookings, the payments, and the on-the-ground support so you can focus on the experience. As a family, we travel 4+ months of the year. Jane has personally traveled to over 120 countries. We have lived in Thailand, France, and Portugal. If you want a trip planned by a travel expert, this is it.
For everyone
You don't have to be a student to travel with us. Our open-enrollment trips are designed for curious adults who want to explore the world alongside great people.
For group leaders
If you have an audience, a community, or just a group of friends who want to travel together, we'll help you design and host a trip and handle every detail.
Built on experience
18+ years of international group travel means we've seen it all. We know how to make a trip run smoothly, and how to make it unforgettable.
