have been to every country in the world. I have made maps and learned about almost every civilization
from the beginning of time. I love geography so much, that some people think I have started to resemble a globe. I have no doubt that by the time you complete your travels with me, you will love geography too! So pack your bags, gather your supplies, and get ready for your journey through the lands of
the explorers.
