Readers of Wandering Educators know that we are passionate about exploring the world. And, I am a huge proponent of study abroad - there's nothing like it to  truly expand your worldview, while having a great time learning overseas. I've worked in study abroad, and am always looking for more study abroad resources for Wandering Educators.

We flipped a coin.  Heads we signed up for another day zip-lining. Tails we’d choose something else. Tails.  Okay, there must be other excursions with our names on them.  We opted-out of horseback riding, whitewater rafting, kayaking, and river tubing.  Maybe I’d filled my action quota harnessed and gliding through the rain forests in Roatan.

Ever want to give back when traveling in the world of need? Love to take photos? Then join Dog Meets World, the photo diplomacy project and help connect cultures through the power of photography. The ambitious mission of Dog Meets World (DMW) is to give all children/families in developing countries personal photograph, often for the first time.
