About this blog

After 5 years of teaching in the New York City Public School System I decided I needed a break. And so I have quit my job and have taken off on a trip around the world. My journey begins in South America and then will continue around the world. My first stop will be Peru, where I will be taking a month of Spanish class to get ready for 5 months of travel in South America. Other than that, not much is planned. We will see where my journey takes me...
