Nice work! I was just talking with my husband tonight about meaningful gifts for family, and special maps of favorite places was one of our favorite ideas! You’ve inspired me to give it a try!

Hope you are still in touch with a few. It would be a shame if only one of you gets to look at this project.
Australia was one of my failures. Always wanted to go there and even had a few job offers over the years that would have gotten me there. Don’t even remember what was more important than going, but sadly, never got there.
Glad you made it and now have a memento to remind you. Great project.

Sadly I’m not in touch with any of those students anymore, but I am still friends with one of the other teacher leaders. As a teacher leader it was completely paid for. The only money I spent was on souvenirs and some extra food that was not included. I couldn’t turn that down!

That’s beautiful! My daughter studied abroad in Australia three years ago and she LOVED it there! I’m so happy she had that opportunity and that she got to do it before Covid hit and impacted all the study abroad opportunities.

Inspired. Need to make a map now, or maybe a bunch of them…
