Reason #39 The circus

Having summers off allows me freedom to travel and experience the world as a traveler, not a tourist. I like to stay with my friends in France, or friends of friends. There is nothing like living with people of a culture. That is the only way to really experience another way of life and learn how other people truly live.  You also get to eat really cool food!!! 

In my research on places to “work away”, a very interesting opportunity caught my eye. Do you remember my son telling me there is “absolutely no way” I can come up with 365+ reasons why I teach?  Well, he has always wanted to travel to South America as he wants to study botany. I am thinking that he deserves a very special experience considering his support of my efforts.

I have found the perfect summer experience for HIM….the circus!  There is a family circus in Brazil that is looking for people to come and travel around the countryside with them as they perform in small towns.  No experience required! He is 15 and strong. He just loves to work, ha. What a fabulous opportunity it would be for him.

I think that I will go the French Riviera to sell vegetables and send him to the circus!  I will get more writing done there! He would probably get bored anyways sitting on the beach, reading books, writing, hiking, snorkeling, scuba diving, and sailing! Plus he is not that into cheese and pastries…too bad for him.   I wouldn’t want him to be bored and hungry!

Freedom to travel and opportunities to experience the world…

This is why I teach!
