Who do you go to, when you’re planning your travels? The experts! Whether it is a friend that has been there, the tripadvisor-type database of experience, Wandering Educators (naturally!), or experts in the region to which you’re headed, it’s always a good idea to learn from the experts.

When I finished college, I headed to Europe. Yes, yes, so did everyone else! It was a glorious time before settling into the J.O.B. and real life.

If you're like me, the hardest part of travel planning is finding a place to stay. We have clear requirements - accessible, family-friendly, high speed internet (working on Wandering Educators!), and honesty.

Catch a glimpse of rural life, friends, colors and light, traditions and trampled brown grass, the Zipper and the Kamikaze, a Ferris wheel and a tilt-a-whirl.

Ready for a travel experience like no other? I’m always reminding my students to use the 5 senses in their travel writing, because it packs such a punch in relating a place to the reader.

Here at Wandering Educators, we are often asked to define cultural travel. My short answer to that:

Cultural travel is deep, local, insightful; always seeking to learn; a way of experiencing a culture from the inside - as a participant, instead of a tourist.

We've shared our passion for National Wildlife Refuges, in How (and Why) to Include National Wildlife Refuges in your Travel Plans.

Sixty-five full scholarships are available for U.S. students to study abroad for an academic year with the Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study (YES) Abroad program.

Ever wonder what it is like to just pick up and go? To travel full-time, WITH your kids? We've shared many family travelers here on Wandering Educators, and there's always room for more - for each family travels in its own way, choosing what is best for THEM. We recently had a chance to catch up with Ruth Johnston, who travels full-time with her son.

Disneyland Paris is a must-see if you’re a Disney fan (and who isn’t?). There are two parks at Disneyland Paris – Disneyland Park, and Walt Disney Studios Park. You will want at least one day for each park. If you have more than two days, spend the extra day(s) at Disneyland Park.  You can get tickets to Disneyland Paris, which can include transportation from Paris, shuttles, and free-roaming between the two parks.
