Interview with Melibee Global’s Founder, Missy Gluckmann, featured on Wandering Educators
While I’m the one who is usually looking for people to interview for my blog, I was humbled to be asked to be interviewed by Dr. Jessie Voigts from Wandering Educators.
Wandering Educators is an international community of traveling educators. It serves as a resource for discovering extraordinary travel destinations, fascinating people, and global artists and photographers, among our many published articles. As the largest source of travel guide reviews on the internet, it is a place site you’ll want to bookmark! With more than 35 editors, they represent nations around the world and a plethora of intercultural and travel-related areas. Their audience is diverse – travelers who are K-12 teachers (US system), homeschoolers, students, higher education professors and administrators, as well as life long learners.
After being interviewed by Dr. Voigts and learning about her inspiring background, I asked her to write a guest post for Melibee Global in the near future. I look forward to sharing her piece with you in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, here is her interview about Melibee Global. Please let me know what you think!
And let me add how grateful I am to have been recognized by such a valuable resource in the field. It is certainly a very humbling experience.
