I've been selected as a Fulbright Scholar to teach a class at Vietnam National University-Hanoi and to conduct a visitor study at Cuc Phuong National Park during the fall semester, 2010. This is a record of my adventure.

Home Sweet Home
No matter how far you go or how long you stay, home is always the best place to be. Everything is so familiar (food, family, and bed), plus all your other "stuff" is there. In fact, home life is so comfortable that many people do not ever want to leave - even on a temporary basis. This is short-sighted because tourism, especially international travel, has a tendency to broaden one's perspective. If you get an opportunity, then take advantage of it. You will become a better person and gain a better appreciation of the world and it's people.
After 5 months abroad, I returned safely to the U.S. on January 11. Its good to be back home. Now I am fighting jetlag and cold temperatures at the same time. Not sure who is winning the battle.
