A Date Around the World!

Have a traveling bug? Let’s take a trip around the world… in Provo.
There are places in and around Provo that have a unique culture or ethnicity. Put a few ideas together and take a date around the world.



For more fun, make a passport and get a stamp for each place you visit!

Or give your date a packing list of as many items as they can find.

 Examples would be
  • France: berets, mustaches, striped shirts, 
  • India: white shirts and sashes
  • Tropics: sarong and sandals
Let the fun begin!!
