It’s all about Seoul
Warning- I am having a hard time uploading pictures- I will repost this when I can with pictures. I have been in Korea for four days and still have yet to get overcome this jetlag…it’s 4am right now, so I figured I would use my time lying awake to catch up on my blog. In only four short days I have learned…
Off to Korea
Travel has always been a way for me to push myself to grow as a person and to challenge my students to rethink some of the preconceived misperceptions that they may have about the world. Perhaps ominously, this year I will be traveling to the Republic of South Korea with 30 other teachers through the…
Inauguration 2013, Washington D.C
Red, white, and blue draped the city wherever you went. Swarms of Americans from all over the nation had converged on the city by Sunday afternoon. Hotels, restaurants, and bars were doing a booming business. Though it wasn’t quite as intoxicating as four years ago, the energy that pervaded the city for this second inauguration…
“When Others Were Fighting, Mayans Were Learning”
This was a quote from my tour guide when visiting Chichen Itza last week while in Mexico for a wedding. After visiting a multitude of ancient sites over the years, I was curious to see how Chichen Itza would compare to such places as the Great Pyramids, the Taj Mahal, and Machu Picchu.

Food, Food, and More Food

Cafes, Palaces, and Burger King
That pretty much sums up my time in Vienna. As this is likely my last post for this trip, I’m going to break it down into three sub-sections: Vienna, Birthday in Berlin, and Post-Trip Reflections. Though I doubt anyone is still reading this, thank you to those who did. Vienna Known as Wien (where wienerschnitzel…
The Hills Are Alive …….
….with the Sound of Mosquitos… or at least it felt that way after our first night in Salzburg. After a long, but scenic train ride through the east of Switzerland and much of the Austrian country side, we finally arrived in Salzburg about 4 in the afternoon on Sunday. We took our first all-inclusive tour…
Land of Cheese and Chocolate
After our celebration of Swiss Day in the Alps, we hopped aboard a train, a cable car, and eventually the Golden Pass railroad to Lucerne. The windows in our rail car were panoramic, and provided awe-inspiring views of the lakes and mountains on our way across Switzerland. Unfortunately we were on the right side of the train and…
