This second video from our presentations to schools focuses on where we will be going on our around-the-world-trip to raise geography awareness.
In September 2003, my wife, Sandy and I, left our full-time IT jobs and took an around-the-world trip with our two daughters. At the time, Kristen (age 10) and Lauren (age 12) were in 5th and 7th grade, respectively.
We are releasing a series of videos covering our student presentations. This first one is from our visit to an intermediate school and highlights geography and its importance in today’s global society.
This is a challenging game! A series of ten questions will test which of four options is the furthest north, south, east or west.

Part of the mission of Trekking the Planet is to promote an active lifestyle as we undertake a series of hikes during our 14-month journey. Our hope is our example will encourage others to find ways to become more active as well.
One of the basic principles of Trekking the Planet is a preference for travel that is “closer to the ground”. One benefit of ground travel is the reduced “carbon footprint” over airplanes.
The newest game focuses on the continents of the world and invites you to assemble each one, using six puzzle pieces.
This latest game allows you to test your skill for either the United States or a worldwide continent / region. Once an area is chosen, multiple choice questions can be answered in one of six areas. The difficulty level of the questions can also be set.
