Travel From Kim Knox Beckius, your About Travel Editor Greetings, Travelers! I'm usually up on travel buzzwords, but I hadn't heard the term "edventure" until I stumbled upon Adventure Travel Guide Lois Friedland's ideas for educational vacations. Now that kids are back in school, why not plan a memorable learning experience of your own? ~Kim Edventures Make Learning Fun Want to return home from your next vacation destressed, refreshed and... smarter? Edventures may sound more like work than play, but trips that stretch your mind or body are healthy and fun. Whether you see yourself following in the footsteps of King Arthur or helping to collect scientific shark data, an edventure can be a life-changing experience. Adventure Travel Guide Lois Friedland introduces the diverse possibilities available for travelers open to educational adventures.
