What is “Exploratorius,” anyways?

After realizing that keeping a blog for my study abroad experience in 2009 appealed to me, I realized I had to pick a name that would be a good fit, and would imply the correct meanings to my readers. “Exploratorius” struck me as a good choice, because it is Latin for “an explorer,” and it also struck me that it would allow me to expand my blogging to cover my other experiences in traveling around the world. It implicitly implies a sense of wanderlust, which I definitely possess, and that implication is strengthened through the use of “A Jaunt Around the World” as the subtitle for each specific blog.

What is this “Jaunt into Haiti” referring to?

Having started this blog series with my time spent abroad in Israel/Palestine, I continue to derive quite a bit of joy from keeping both a written and visual chronicle of my experiences and impressions of abroad experiences.  As such, this new Haitian-focused blog will at the very least give a record of my June 2015 trip there… and if I get my way in the future, it will eventually chronicle my trips back to Jacmel as I continue to try and help people there learn how to best help themselves and their neighbors.
