Looking forward to 2011 …

So, it’s New Year’s Eve … time for reflection, time for planning. 2010 was a tumultuous year for me. Worked in a job I liked, but for someone I didn’t. Almost died in a car accident. Sort of recovered … visited the Galapagos Islands, and that helped. Went on a life changing trip to the Grand Canyon … and that helped me to recover completely and then some …

Realizing that life’s too short, I am revamping everything! I quit my predictable and safe full time job (eek!) and am now an independent educational consultant. I think my most exciting project is going to be acting as the Education Director for Small World Travel (a division of Brownell). This is a wonderful travel consultant group that focuses on family adventures. I will be developing curriculum for families that want to maximize the learning experience for their kids (and themselves) – even to the point of providing full year programs for round-the-world travelers that are schooling their children as they globe trot. Everyone who knows my passion for both education and travel will know that this is the perfect combination of my skills and interests.

Here’s a toast to an exciting 2011 … Hope everyone stays tuned to explore the world with me!
