I love to see educators travel and come back changed (in the BEST possible way!).
The first time I sat across from a docent who knew the name of every Herbert who had ever lived at Muckross House, I understood the gap.
On a misty grey morning at Scotland’s historic Culloden Battlefield, our daughter Lillie did not want to leave.
We had arrived early. Hours (and hours) later, a guide came to tell us the site was closing. Lillie kept going back to the same long stretch of Drummossie Moor, listening hard to the wind. She wandered to and from Leanach Cottage, meandering among clan grave markers, treading lightly and with respect. She asked questions, then went back to the marsh to think.
After almost two decades of publishing Wandering Educators, I greet every new travel planning tool the same way: with curiosity, and with my suitcase-tested skepticism close at hand.
The question filling my inbox this year?

The era of tapping on greasy kiosks is slowly fading, making way for sophisticated conversational intelligence.

One morning while volunteering as an English teacher in Mexico, I asked my classroom a simple question:
"Who wants to be a superhero?"
Every hand shot into the air.
The children immediately began naming the superpowers they wished they had: flying, super speed, invisibility, incredible strength. Their answers got me thinking. What actually makes someone a superhero? Is it simply possessing a special ability, or is it how that ability is used?
Let’s be completely real for a second. Packing up your entire life, moving to a country you’ve only ever seen on a map, and trying to get a degree in a language that isn't your own is terrifying. It is a massive, exhausting mountain to climb. But for international students, the biggest hurdle isn't just the culture shock or the homesickness. It’s navigating this completely unspoken, incredibly rigid set of rules called academic integrity.
