I accept all forms of sitting back and relaxing to read for pleasure! But wait, if you read right now, I'll throw in a curious person in the other room who wanders in to ask you what you are laughing at. And that's not all! Along with the health benefits of sitting back, relaxing, laughing, and piquing a bystander's curiosity, you will get access to my other articles for free with a money-back guarantee! 

A strange thing happened on the way to an occupational interlude...I discovered that my insatiable curiosity about people and places could be melded with my humor. The curiosity I bring to life was cultivated by extensive travel experiences in childhood and has continued well into adulthood. I am a keen observer of nuances. And, I'm funny. (A funny thing...the worst way to convince other people you are funny is by telling them you are funny.) When I decided to put pen to paper (fingers to keyboard), my curiosity and humor collided. This compendium is full of witty observations about how landscapes shape people and how people can be both distinctive and, yet, so very much alike.

Christy Anselmi, the Travel with Awe and Wonder Editor for Wandering Educators, taught kindergarten and first grade for 13 years in public schools in Atlanta and Massachusetts. She took a two year diversion to teach and learn in a Montessori school in Bozeman, Montana and a 10 year sabbatical to raise her own children. Christy has an abiding interest in early childhood education and how to provide developmentally appropriate experiences to engage young people in connection and communication. Raised by parents who got Christy involved in travel at a young age, she developed a curiosity about what is around each corner. Married to a Wyoming man who developed his own wanderlust after years in the Army, the two (along with two sons) have lived in five states (Georgia, Montana, Utah, Kansas, Massachusetts, and soon to be Arizona) and one country (Germany). Christy is a life-long noticer of intriguing scenarios, phrases, and ironies in everyday life. Finally putting pen to paper, she has a growing passion for insightful travel-experience writing.
