C2A GGL Introduction

What’s up c2A FAM!

My name is Brandon Chan but my students call me Mr. B or Mr. Chan. I’m so excited to be one of your Global Glimpse Leaders this summer and cannot wait to share an awesome summer adventure with you all!

Currently, I am wrapping up my third year of teaching English/ELD at Independence High School in San Jose. This will be my third Global Glimpse trip; my second as a Leader. I had previously travelled with GG as a student back in 2016 to Nicaragua. I’ve experienced GG from both sides and feel absolutely confident to say that this journey can truly be one of a kind. My main goal is to ensure that you all have a safe and great experience with GG just as I have had.

When I’m not teaching, I’m either playing video games, playing music, or playing some kind of sport. I enjoy playing and watching basketball the most but can play almost any other sport. If none of the above, then I am likely spending some time (willingly or not) with my one my cats, Nico, Naya, or Luna.

Looking forward to meeting you all real soon!

Brandon Chan

Brandon – we’re thrilled to have you lead another GG trip!! I love the waterfall pic (I believe in CR last year) and the fact that you are sharing your lovely family of cats with us. Hope you have a great trip!

Hello,
We didn’t get a call from Durga today . It looks like she hasn’t set up a blog yet either?
