Our Community Shares: Dream Learning Destinations
Our community is inquisitive, intrepid and always dreaming, so we asked our Road Scholar Facebook community to dream big with us. “If you could spend time learning anywhere in the world, where would your curiosity take you?” This is just a sampling of the dozens of responses this post garnered!
1. “I would go back to Indonesia and learn more about the incredible coral reefs. There's so much to learn about their biodiversity and importance to our oceans!” — Jennifer R.
2. “I would go to Lapland to learn about the culture of the Indigenous Sámi peoples, their reindeer herds and to see the aurora borealis! I'm most fascinated by the setting, which looks magical, and the close relationship the Sámi have with the reindeer.” — Kerry B
3. “Edinburgh — rich with history, culture and stunning landscapes!” — Dianne S.
4. “Mexico — I would love to be where the monarch butterflies migrate.” — Cathy H.
5. “Paris to see Notre Dame, Moulin Rouge and eat all the goodies they offer like macarons and croissants.” — Jane H.
Participants in Argentina
6. “I really want to go on the program Wonders of Chile and Argentina: Patagonia & Iguazu Falls — I have never been to South America.” — Patty S.
7. “I would love to see the Québec Christmas market in Canada! It’s just such a magical city — the architecture, the culture. And the weather — I’m in California!” — Rosario F.
8. “Bora Bora, Maldives, Fuji and/or Tahiti. I’d really go anywhere first — the overwater bungalows in Bora Bora, the crystal-clear waters of the Maldives, the rich culture of Fiji or the dreamy vibes of Tahiti — each offers its own unique charm.” — Kristy E.
Stockholm, Sweden
9. “I'm thinking Sweden or Finland. In Sweden, you could delve into Viking history, Swedish design or even the tradition of fika (coffee and pastries!). And Finland offers the chance to experience the northern lights, explore lakes and forests. Maybe even saunas?” — Kathleen W.
10. “Cancún is my hands-down choice! Gorgeous beaches, turquoise waters and rich Mayan history.” — Pam O.
