I am currently a history teacher in Ohio who has led more than 15 school trips to Europe and Asia. In the 90s I taught and lived in England and my love of travel began there. At the age of 50 I decided I wanted to go to Asia for the first time...and went alone. In the winter of 2023 I did a solo trip to Spain. This past summer, I was off to Europe. I love traveling with friends and on school trips, but believe there is a lot of value in planning a trip on your own.
