On our first day at Acadia National Park, we got a good look at a baby red fox running in and out of thick vegetation, as if it was playing hide and seek with us. We were staying at the Schoodic Education Research Center, a short trek away, and from then on we looked for the baby fox each day.

Recently I have begun to read more and more other travel blogs because I think it’s fascinating to see where other people have visited and to be able to see their experience through photographs and words. 

I was incredibly fortunate to collaborate with Anne-Sophie Redisch, who runs the travel blog Sophie’s World, to produce an interview all about her experience with travelling.

On Visiting the Galapagos: Don’t Touch the Animals (despite them being all around you)

The summer of 2011, my dad planned a trip to show me the Teton Mountain Range and Yellowstone, the first National Park in the world, created in 1872. We were scheduled to leave June 16th; the idea was to beat most of the other tourists. However, weird weather wreaked havoc on our plans both before we left New Hampshire and once we arrived out West. Who would have thought a strong wind burst would blow through Plymouth in June, snapping trees and causing a power outage resulting in school being cancelled for a day.

Pakistan’s North is a most spectacular and fascinating region. Here, world's three famous mountain ranges meet - the Himalayas, the Karakorams and the Hindukush. The whole Northern Pakistan is like a paradise for mountaineers, climbers, trekkers, hikers, and anglers.

While it’s all well and good to furnish eager pupils with knowledge, many teachers also have a hankering to indulge in a little extracurricular learning themselves. If this can be achieved in a beautiful setting among wonderful people without the help of actual French lessons, then so much the better. In this respect, English teachers hoping to pick up or polish their French are spoilt for choice.
