About Me

A white woman, Mac, sits on a large boulder with snow capped mountains and a bay in the distance

If you’re reading this, welcome to my little corner of the internet! I’m Mac and I’ve been globe trotting of and off since my first foray into international travel in 2008. Since then, I’ve traveled, worked, studied, and taught in over 20 countries – making mistakes and learning important lessons along the way.

I've spent years as an educator focused on study abroad and and creating holistic learning across cultures. With this background, I decided to combine my extensive travel knowledge with my passion for education with this blog! Once an educator, always an educator.

So please learn more about me and explore my blog and I hope you take away something new in your time with me!
