      I would do anything to be able to do this with my 2 kids. It’s just us. I wanna move out west and settle there. Making money on the road is not a possibility for me. And I’m a single mom, there’s no other income so I’m stuck. It’s my ultimate dream though.

      I want either a short bus or a shuttle. I want to travel the country making videos of virtual field trips for school children and provide study guides and learning materials for them to use with each field trip. I’m calling it The Great American Field Trip Project, and seeking sponsors, both corporations and individuals!

    The education they will receive will be priceless with soo many teachable moments.
    I think the notion that a classroom has to be within four walls is outdated especially with COVID you'd think so call educators would be exploring all types of alternatives outside the traditional classroom.
