Getting to know You

Hi Everybody! My name is Jason, and I am the choir teacher at Lowell H.S. in San Francisco. This will be my eighth time traveling with Global Glimpse and my second time to our amazing country of Panama. My Global Glimpse experiences have been wonderful and life-changing, and they have taught me to be grateful and content with what I have in America. Most importantly, Global Glimpse taught me to be a better global citizen.

I hope all of you will come with an open mind and know this trip will be different. The idea of traveling to new places with a group of 20 “strangers” is exciting for me, and I know it will be a trip of a lifetime. What would be a better way to see Chitre than with a new team of people working together…to work like a local, to live like a local, and to give back to the local people with our Community Action Project. Your positive energy and enthusiasm will make a difference!

“Traveling is the only money you spend that makes you richer.” This quote explains my wanderlust and is also a very legitimate reason for me to see the world and get “richer.” I have done volunteer work with my church youth group in China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Mexico, and I’ve also brought my choir to Italy and around the States. My experience of meeting, learning, and interacting with the local people, culture, and way of life is priceless. I hope you will learn and reshape your way of traveling.
