Travel isn't only about planning, or being there. It's also about discovering a place, and discovering yourself; riding buses and eating locally. Rove Magazine is one such online resource for travel inspiration! It's full of interesting articles - read Why haven’t I heard of… Huacachina, Peru; Mushroom Hunting in Norway; Ten Things You Should Do in Every Country You Visit; The Traveling Notebook: the beginning of Asia by train - SEE??

I am a firm believer in learning about things and places which are unfamiliar.  When we explore new things, we learn about others - and ourselves. One such book I've read recently is truly an exploration of a culture entirely different from my own.

Once in a while, we find a company that we just, well, love. Just a second - you'll see. Our latest love? Grand Trunk. Admittedly, I am not an adventure traveler (something about my wheelchair scooter, you know). But I DO love to be outside, more than anything, exploring this amazing world we live in. And, I appreciate their well-made, well-designed, creative travel goods, and plan on incorporating these into our lives.

Are students inspired by Teacher Travels? YES! For proof, we asked global educator and world traveler Lillie Teacha Marshall, a teacher in the Boston Public Schools in Massachusetts - and she asked her students.

The mission statement for FarewellTravels.com includes something we certainly value. It says:

Technology is amazing! It's a way to teach about the world, and learn from each other. And, a way for classrooms to connect, globally. Kader Adjout, Chair of the Global History department at Beaver Country Day School, has been employing technology to connect his classroom with others around the world.
