Elisabeth Nebeker, Program Director

Elisabeth’s interest in travel piqued in High School visiting Portugal with her mom and was in full force when she backpacked solo for two months throughout Europe after graduating from the U of U. She took her twin daughters to Quito for Spanish classes and explored the Galapagos for their 10th birthday. And in 2023 had her biggest travel year visiting Bali, Bhutan, Mexico City, Baja Mexico, London/Wimbledon, Tennessee, California, and Utah favorites. Her career with Sundance Institute, Broadway touring, and supporting entrepreneurs was built on relationship building and executing well. She’s thrilled to be part of Go Learn to share her love of travel for learning and connecting with people and places.

Amanda Bowen, Program Manager

Amanda’s love of travel began as a child reading a set of Time/Life travel books from her parent’s library. She can say “Hello, how are you?” (but that’s about it) in 5 languages and has traveled to 10 countries thus far. She holds a BA from the U in Dramaturgy and a masters in Arts Administration from Southern Utah University. Amanda is thrilled to be part of a program that provides travelers the opportunity to experience the world in such an exceptional way.

Go Learn has taken us to places we wouldn’t have gone to on our own, and allowed us to have a true understanding of the people and cultures we’ve encountered. We also now have lots of new ‘Go Learn’ friends, and are looking forward to even more travel!"
