One of our main goals with Explorations<\/strong><\/em> 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.<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s featured Program Consultant is Sarah Vessenes. Here\u2019s some of our favorite excerpts from our recent interview with her:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Where did you grow up? <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

You would never guess it, but this woman of the world is from Minnesota!\u00a0 That\u2019s right, the land of -50 (Fahrenheit) days where school buses wouldn\u2019t start and the indoor malls stretch for miles.\u00a0 I even had the blessed opportunity to work at the Mall of America<\/a> in High School!<\/p>\n

Where did you go to college? <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Wheaton College<\/a> in Wheaton, IL (Not to be confused with the one in MA<\/a>).\u00a0 A choice I thought would suit me \u2013 small, liberal arts college, near but not in a major city.<\/p>\n

While I enjoyed my Wheaton experience,\u00a0 my best year was the one in which I studied abroad at the University of Bristol<\/a>, in Bristol England.
