Jeffrey Nevinski's trip to Italy / Greece
Hey Students and Parents!
About Me
Curiosity, excitement, love of learning, new experiences, and a world perspective - all these things shape why I love to travel and experience the world. I enjoy witnessing the differences in architecture, culture, and and traditions, while noticing the explicit similarities of us all as members of the human race. I like trying new foods, sampling new languages, and smiling at new faces.
I love to teach. Extending learning beyond the four walls of the classroom is what education should be all about. What better way then by experiencing the Geometry of ancient ruins crafted by the forerunners of modern architecture and by exploring the historic cities that have shaped our languages, governments, and religions!!

| Places I've Traveled | I've traveled throughout French and English Canada taking in the sites and the language. I've built homes for disadvantaged families in Mexico on multiple occasions. I've taught English within a church in Ukraine. I've visited the world's largest hydro-electric power plant in Paraguay, hiked around monstrous waterfalls and seen exotic animals in Argentina, and tasted the bountiful fruits of the culture and climate of Brazil. |

| Favorite Movie | Sahara - a little adventure, a little comedy, a little romance... |
