Josette Bonafino
Founder and Director
I'll never forget my first trip to Europe as a 16 year old junior high school student. It literally changed my life. Suddenly all the people and places I had read about were right before my eyes. I knew I wanted to be part of the broader world. In our ever increasing interdependent world, it's important to get young people enthusiastic about being part of the big picture. That's why when I'm not at CQ, you can find me planning social action art projects at MYX: Multicultural Youth Exchange, our nonprofit sister organization.

Travel Program Director
I have always loved the adventure of travel - the history and people, the new sights, sounds, flavors and textures. And I think it's getting more important each day, that young people have first-hand experience
of the world as a part of their education. It makes history so much more concrete and illuminates just how interconnected we all are. So I can't think of a better way to spend my days, than helping people to
plan their next travel quest! I look forward to helping our clients plan the best possible trips for their needs and continue their investigation of the world.
I really appreciated the good communication with the staff of Culture Quest in the planning stages. They always contacted me before booking the airline, the hotel, and the train to be sure I approved of the time, dates, location, etc. They did their best to get us the best flights, and sometimes even gave me a choice of when and where to travel. The hotels were more than adequate, and always in very central locations near transportation.
