About The Author

Jim Moehlenbrock is a semi-retired internationally experienced high school counselor, mathematics teacher, and college instructor. He served in the U. S. Army Reserves 6 years as a combat engineer. He taught high school math in South Carolina until he retired. Throughout his S.C. teaching, he drove a 60-passenger school bus for 22 years and more than 220,000 miles without causing any accidents and he loved being a school bus driver. Jim taught math at Zweibrucken American High School in Germany for two years and got to travel into 30 European countries. He taught in Southeast Asia 14 years: 4 years at an international school in Thailand, one year in Vietnam (in the late 1990’s), 5 years in a hill-tribe school teaching Hmong students, and the remaining years he tutored students aged 6 to 19 in an orphanage in Thailand. He taught using Thai as the language of instruction. During his free summers between school years, he traveled solo on a very tight budget into 56 countries stretched out over five continents. He is sharing his travel journals with you so that you can see how interesting traveling solo can be. It’s not really a traveling style to be afraid of but rather, one to be embraced. As you read the journal, try to see yourself traveling in Jim’s place, and you’ll see it’s quite doable. More about Jim Moehlenbrock
