Sumatran Pendidikan - an Indonish blended phrase - loosely translates as Sumatran Education, the heart of my 2011 summer. This blog tracks my Sumatran Pendidikan: learning about educational systems and programs and sharing ideas through a teaching exchange...while also exploring and discovering new things about myself and the world through untethered travel, treks and urban walk-abouts. My gratitude to the Teaching Excellence and Achievement Program and staff and my generous host teacher Siti Zulfah Sulaiman and her colleagues in Medan for making this Sumatran Pendidikan possible.

Here to There


Leaving soon...a long and winding path to get from Tucson, Arizona to Medan, Indonesia.  I'll be "in transit" for about 36 hours...passing through San Francisco (hi Steph!), Narita, Japan (hi Yamanakas!), and Singapore.  From the dry desert heat to the tropical heat and green of Sumatra!

Home - Tucson, Arizona


Medan, Sumatra
