Guest bio:
Brandon Hall grew up in a small town in rural North Carolina and wasn’t exposed to many cultures outside of his home state, much less the country. His world view started to expand while working at summers camps during his college years. During those summers, he worked with and made life long friendships with staff members from around the world.
As an adult, Brandon has had the privilege of teaching, living, and learning around the world. To this day, each new experience continues to shape him as a global citizen.
Brandon founded Learn Around The World with the dream of exposing students to new cultures, histories, and natural wonders around the world no matter their background or physical access to these places. Brandon strives to live by the words he often says during his virtual field trips, "It's a big world out there, so keep exploring!"
