Learning From International Travel
Recapping My Cultural Experiences
As many of you know, I am passionate about international travel. Some of the content will sound familiar. However, I’ve never posted pictures of my trips to South Africa or China as I have here.
Also, note that I worked at a private school for eleven years, and some of my travel was educational travel through their Global Studies program. There was a high school certification and a (voluntary) teacher certification program.
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The History of “Little Africa”
A three-hour walking tour of “Little Africa” provided a wonderful, unfortunate, and enlightening history of life in Rio. Little Africa is the oldest continually inhabited black neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro.
More than two million slaves were brought to Rio de Janeiro. Little Africa recounts that history and has built a museum and art gallery in the slum neighborhood to keep that history alive.
