We've been talking in class about ways to reduce prejudice and learn about other people. One way - but not the only way - is to travel. For the next day or two in class, you are going to be reading about the thoughts and adventures of seasoned travelers. For them, the experiences along the way are just as important as the places they have visited.
In class, you will receive an assignment that will help you take brief notes on two essays found on the "Lonely Planet" blog. You will also explore the website of a guy that DROVE around the world last year!
(By the way...start thinking about the first place you would travel to if time and money were no problem. Where would you go? What would you like to see and experience? Why is this the first place that comes to mind? We'll be talking about that in days to come.)
So...off we go!
Bon Voyage!

Once you find a destination, take time to read about it, look at photos, find other places nearby...have fun dreaming of where you might like to go!
