Meet the UbicaTours Team

Jenn Jeffers is the founder of UbicaTours and a lifelong champion of access, equity, and transformative learning.

She began her career as a Spanish teacher in rural Louisiana, where she dreamed of creating opportunities for students to experience the world beyond their classrooms. Over the past decade, Jenn has partnered with schools, teachers, school leaders, and nonprofit organizations across Louisiana to make international learning experiences accessible for all.

Through UbicaTours, Jenn has witnessed firsthand the powerful impact of travel: participants return more confident, curious, and globally aware, and groups come home stronger and more connected. She is dedicated to creating journeys that are more than trips—they are adventures with meaning and opportunities to travel with purpose, sparking growth that lasts long after the return flight.

Alicia Vance brings a lot of heart and joy to Ubica Tours as the Program Manager. A Spanish teacher turned travel leader, she’s all about helping students step into new cultures, try new things, and dream bigger. Whether it’s snorkeling in Costa Rica, cooking local dishes, or fundraising for the next big adventure, Alicia makes learning feel like an adventure of its own.

She’s taught hundreds of students Spanish, led trips abroad, and raised thousands of dollars to make travel possible for young people. Fluent in Spanish (and always picking up new languages), Alicia believes the best lessons happen when you’re out in the world, connecting with people and places.

Her mission? To show students that travel isn’t just a trip—it’s a life-changing experience.
