I have been publishing Wandering Educators for almost two decades. I have a PhD in international education. My passport has stamps from places I have lived, and places I have passed through too quickly.
For much of my early years experiencing and writing about travel, I was wrong about almost everything.
Late spring and early summer: a time of graduations, engagements, weddings, relocations, and other sorts of moves.
Musicians sometimes address these changes directly, and at other times they choose indirect ways to go about it.

I don’t know about you, but these days I feel like much of society has the attention span of gnats. We aim to play the long game but are interrupted by something shiny on aisle six. We set goals, make those bucket lists, and say ‘someday’ more times than we can count.
For those who have had any kind of experience creating an X presence for any period of time, the question has undoubtedly crossed your mind: what's this worth? It's not a vanity exercise.

Whether you are planning a study abroad program, a cultural immersion trip, a family learning vacation, a volunteer experience, a historical tour, or a professional development opportunity, travel can make lessons feel real in a way books and screens often cannot. It allows people to explore new places, meet diverse communities, and understand history, language, food, art, and culture firsthand.
“Flesh & Faith: The Wild Meets the Way” is a visceral series in which each work hums with tension, demanding to know what it means to be both driven and deliberate, feral and faithful, all at once.
In “Everything Connects: Life is Full of Dots,” Artist Brian Strigel invites viewers into a world where art and science quietly collide.
Through intricate compositions built from spirals, dots, and layered patterns, Strigel creates works that feel both microscopic and cosmic. Like cells under a microscope or galaxies unfolding in deep space, his paintings draw the viewer into a meditative experience, encouraging stillness, curiosity, and a sense of scale that is both intimate and infinite.
Horse racing isn’t called the game of kings for nothing. It has long been positioned as a luxurious activity, quite literally grown and supported by monarchs.
