Re: HELP- Do you know of any teacher travel groups???
Posted by Lisa on 1/31/08

    Hi-
    I am in the same boat. I am a 33 year old teacher who is recently single. I
    love to travel but usually don't have people to go with since the school
    schedule is very different than everyone else. In the past, I've studied
    Spanish in Costa Rica and in Argentina. That is a great option since there are
    plenty of young professionals taking classes it was a great way to meet people,
    relatively inexpensive and fun. I applied to a program called People to
    People. A friend told me about it. They hire teachers to help excort high
    school students around to various sites in different countries. However I am
    always looking for people to travel with. Please contact me if you have any
    interest in going somewhere, I would love to be a part of any group forming!
