Adventures begin in your mind and carry on through your life, if you allow them to. I have always dreamed of visiting New Zealand and seeing the volcanoes and learning about the Maori culture. I pondered and sweated and created essays to submit to make my dream come true and last Friday ..................... the dream came true. I am a Hilton  - IIE Teacher Trek grant recipient and I will be going to New Zealand in August.  More to follow, but wanted to get this started again so i could record all of the feelings and tasks ahead of me...................  My class shared the phone call!!
