One of our main goals with Explorations is to give everyone an opportunity to meet the fine folks who work at Explorica to help teachers take their students on educational tours across the globe.
This week’s featured Program Consultant is Adam Barton. Here’s some of our favorite excerpts from our recent interview with him:
Where did you grow up?
Marysville, WA – on a beach of the Tulalip Indian Reservation
Where did you go to college?
Where have you traveled?
Mexico, Argentina, Uruguay, Fiji, New Zealand & Spain
Which Explorica tours have you taken?
Favorite band, movie, and/or book…
Led Zeppelin, Dances with Wolves, Autobiography of a Yogi
Favorite breakfast cereal?
I can’t say I had any for more than 15 years, but I specifically remember loving it as a youth, both because it was cookies…for breakfast…and because it magically turned the milk into chocolate milk. One drawback of the Cookie Crisp, however, was that it cut the roof of your mouth something fierce!
If aliens were to contact earth tomorrow, would they be more E.T. or Independence Day?
They HAVE contacted Earth, and they are both
If you could live anywhere else in the entire world, where would that be and why?
New Zealand, mastering the art of fly fishing
Which food did you love as a kid that you tried as an adult and found to be absolutely terrible?
Cottage Cheese. Used to love it, but just thinking about it now turns my stomach.
Why were the Seattle Seahawks so bad this year?
They were haunted by Christian Okoye…
Editor’s Note: Adam is clearly trying to curry my favor by bringing up an iconic Kansas City Chiefs player from my youth spent amongst the wheatfields, loping cows and threshers.
He has succeeded.
