I did a thing! I was a guest on the podcast Join Us in France with Annie Sargent! It was so fun to share our experiences traveling around Bourgogne, France with friends Christa Danesh, Melissa Gombert, Julie Ochoa & Charlene Forman. And to give a well-deserved shout out to The Cook's Atelier, AuthenticaTours, Village de Châteauneuf, Côte d'or, Flavigny-sur-Ozerain, Anis de Flavigny, Ferme Auberge La Grange de Flavigny, Château de La Rochepot, & Domaine Désertaux-Ferrand.

Take a listen! 😃

Annie and Ellen chat about a trip to Burgundy to explore local wine and gastronomy. How about a cheese class also? What a great vacation!

It’s been a while since I posted! Unfortunately, my France trip with students this summer was postponed to 2021, so I’ve been looking back at images from my last trip to Paris in November 2019. (sigh) Keep looking up, out & ahead! We will get to go again soon! ✈️ 🌎

Need a fun tech-free night? Come support my students as they raise money for their educational travel this summer! Proceeds from sales at the café will go towards their trip. Games & tech-free fun are FREE! 😀

Educational travel is not just a vacation. Traveling abroad changed the course of my life & helped me overcome my shyness & lack of self-confidence. It gave me a voice & helped shape my world view. I promote global citizenship in my classes & believe a big part of that is traveling to see & experience places beyond our borders. I don’t believe money should dictate who gets to have these experiences. Please consider supporting a student who is willing to get out of their comfort zone, but needs a little financial assistance to make it happen! If you’d like to donate, please let me know! Thank you!!

And if you need a personal guide & translator, I’m your girl! 😉

Vineyards transitioning from lush green to shades of red, orange, and yellow signifies fall - a glorious time to visit French wine regions.

Traveling is so much more than "vacation" when you make it thoughtful and thought-provoking. Thanks, Rick Steves for teaching me this so long ago...
