It has been a while since I have written so I am going keep this posting as a short update of what has been going on with LiveMore Adventures the last couple of months.

- I am happy to announce that two schools have signed up for exciting student trips to Newfoundland in June. The grade 8 class from Fox River Country Day school in Elgin, IL will be traveling to St. John’s, NL for a week long environmental studies trip. The outdoor education class from The Lawrenceville School in Lawrenceville, NJ will join LiveMore Adventures for a 7-day wilderness skills and leadership, sea kayak expedition in the beautiful Terra Nova National Park.

- In the next couple of weeks I have hope to have at least four new outstanding voluntourism itineraries up on the web site. There will be volunteer opportunities in the Andes, the Cloud Forest, and the Galapagos Islands focusing on environmental sustainability and cultural interaction to choose from. Different trips will also include “soft” and “hard” adventure activities.

- I will spend the next week in Chicago visiting the Fox River Country Day School. I will be teaching classes on Earth Day and run an information session for those students on their Newfoundland trip. I will also visit other schools in the area and have an information booth at Chicago area Boys and Girls Club Vender Fair.
