I've written blogs in the past on my trips to China and Japan....but I didn't write as much as I should have. I was going to continue writing as I went to Brazil (both times I've been there) but it's INSANELY hard to write everyday - and as every traveler always says: "I wish I wrote in my journal more."
I found those past blogs and I enjoyed my time reading them. It brought back a lot of great memories and stories. It was nice to re-experience what changed my life during my time abroad. I've decided to keep writing this time abroad to encourage my memories to be written down. I say this now,...but I hope (honestly!!) to write every week or so to talk about things I am experiencing and learning. As I've been a "real" classroom teacher for the past year, education is in my blood. I hope what I write (if you read it!) helps bring a little bit of culture onto your screen.
Enjoy or skim past - whatever you're feeling! I just hope you learn about the world through travel experiences. It has been the best thing I have ever done.
Well, and so it begins! I am hanging up my teaching bag and taking out my travel bag (what am I kidding,..they're the same bag!). I'm headed on a spiritual, personal, and educational growth experience. Feel free to follow me to: Spain (January 9th until April 10th), Dubai (April 11th), and South Africa (April 12th-July 1st)
Let the journey begin!
