“From Safari to Sicilian Shores” Lessons from My Summer on the Road Part II

In this episode of Teacher Show Me the World, I share unforgettable experiences from Southern Africa and Sicily. From visiting a school in Zimbabwe to sunset cruises on the Zambezi, and from climbing Mount Etna to exploring crystal-clear Sicilian waters, I break down the lessons, logistics, and takeaways that teachers can use when planning their own student trips abroad.

Episode Highlights:

Southern Africa:

• Visiting a school in Zimbabwe and playing a pick-up soccer game with students.

• Touring Nelson Mandela’s house.

• Safari adventures, including close encounters with wildlife.

• Crossing into Zambia by bicycle and a sunset cruise on the Zambezi, complete with hippos and the thunder of Victoria Falls.

Sicily:

• Why Sicily stole my heart and how it compares to hotspots like Amalfi.

Wrapping Up:
