I have traveled to 32 countries, over five continents. Have lived in Iowa, Florida, & worked at Disney World, I’ve also lived in Australia for 8 1/2 yrs. My favorite place to travel is somewhere I haven’t been. My favorite part of traveling is the ‘Aha’ moment when students see what they’ve read about & only dreamed of seeing & experiencing!
