For those of you who know me, you know that I love to travel. It is one of the great joys in my life, and I'm always up for a good trip. Nine times out of ten, I'll be the first one in the vehicle, ready to drive to any destination. I love planning field trips for my students at school, but I also love setting up an itinerary for my own personal adventures as well. I'm just as excited about visiting neat locations in my home state of Kentucky as traveling to far away destinations. After all, as it has been said many times, the journey is where the memories are made.
The collage above gives you just a glimpse of the places I've visited. From top right and proceeding in clockwise order: Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina; Fort Boonesborough in Richmond, Kentucky; Chained Rock in Pineville, Kentucky; and the Thomas Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C. (with some of the coolest kids I know). Wanderlust has always been one of my defining characteristics, and I don't see that changing any time soon. If you can't tell by the description or the actual word itself, wanderlust is basically a strong urge to travel and explore the world.
So this brings me to the point of this whole blog: providing me with a space to chronicle my previous and upcoming adventures. I was recently awarded a scholarship from the Kentucky branch of the English-Speaking Union to study the works of Shakespeare at the Globe Theatre in London. You know, England!!! While I prepare for this upcoming trip, I wanted to take some time to reflect on where my life has taken me so far. Additionally, I will be blogging about the preparations for my overseas trip, which should prove helpful for those of you interested in making a future voyage across the waters yourselves!
Be sure to follow my blog to experience all of my adventures with me! Don't be afraid to ask questions or leave comments; in fact, I encourage both! Oh, and if you were wondering about the name of this blog, The Traveller's Bones, it is taken from a line from Shakespeare's
Measure for Measure, which is one of the plays I'll be studying at the Globe.
Long days and pleasant nights!
**Good night, Mrs. Hall, wherever you are!**
