Hola from South America!

Bringing the world to every kid's classroom and home

Greetings from Montevideo, Uruguay!

If I do anything, I practice what I preach. Exploring the world is what I love to do and think about all the time. Typically, I work hard and then disappear for a period of time at least once a year.

After surviving and thriving through the COVID pandemic whilst being an expat in China, I knew that once I got out, South America was where I wanted to gallivant in and through. And here I am!

I’m in country #6—Uruguay. This adventure includes Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Brazil. What a wild 30 days it has been and continues to be!

Feel free to follow my journey! Let me know what questions you have about traveling solo, global exploration on a budget, exploring countries kindly and meaningfully, and bringing the world to your classroom and home.

Also, a huge reason why I travel now is because, when I was a kid, incredible humans sent me postcards from the places they went. I’d love to do that for others! To cover postage, each postcard is $5 and will get a note from me! If you’d like to donate money, I’ll gladly send postcards to kids who are just like I was—eager and daydreaming about getting passport stamps. Below is how to send me your coins.

Hey y’all! I’m a certified K-5 teacher who prioritizes “bringing the world to every kid’s classroom and home.” I own and run my own microschool in Denver and explore the world once a year.
