Each week the learners will learn something new about the mystery location. In 2023- 2024 we are going to be in Michigan, Minnesota, New England, Florida, Indiana, Montana, North Dakota, Washington, Nevada and Alaska. The specific location of each week's lesson will remain a mystery until class starts. The lessons will be historical, geographical or cultural in nature.

For example, if I were in Richmond, Virginia - learners could expect to learn about the Capital of Virginia and it's role in the Civil War as the Capital of the Confederacy. 

I'm the Traveling Teach - who better to teach a virtual field trip lesson each week than me? I've been on the road for 6 years of our 8 year, 50 state adventure. We move every 5-7 days and spend, on average, 5 weeks per state (larger states receive longer stays while smaller states receive shorter stays). We drive in our 2004 Toyota Corolla and mostly stay in hotels and Airbnb's where I teach all my classes from. We travel with our little dog, Truffles, who features in my pet photography classes. 

Before heading out on the road, I was a Professional Youth Worker and then a Middle School Science Teacher so I know the value of project based learning and learning "on location" through field trips and excursions. Just because your learner can't physically go to a place, doesn't mean they should miss out on the change to learn about it. I look forward to having your learner join me on this adventure.
