Re: HELP- Do you know of any teacher travel groups???
Posted by SueEllen on 4/16/07

    Hey Everyone-

    I as well am SUPER excited to see that there is some sort of group forming for
    people interested in traveling over the summer. I am a 26yr old teacher in
    Virginia (art teacher), looking to find a group or someone to travel with. I
    really want to go to Asia or Africa (I have been to S.Africa before), but really
    I am up for anything. I have found some travel programs through my part time
    job (REI adventure trips). These are really neat trips and the guides are
    friendly and awesome. I was looking for something priced better...but if I get
    a group of teachers together interested in traveling, maybe I will have some
    sort of bargaining chip. They have a really neat adventure trip to thailand and
    a bunch of other places (http://www.rei.com/adventures/trips/asia/thai.jsp).
    Asia/Africa is really inexpensive once you get over there, so I would not be
    apposed to buying a ticket and just figuring it out from there (I know this is
    not the preferred method, but really I just want to travel even if there is not
    a program out there).

    Anyway, include me in the group email (and if there is not one already I can
    start one). Feedback would be awesome, so email me if you have any ifo!

    Thanks!
    SueEllen
