Abstract	In this article, Erika Cook and Aaron Becker suggest teachers travel to "unfamiliar" lands to not only breathe life into global lessons but also to gain new perspectives and experiences as educators. For teachers who dread teaching about an unfamiliar place or culture, Cook and Becker recommend considering the very real opportunities to experience it first hand. Herein, they provide a descriptive list of travel-study grants available to educators as well as exchange programs that might also be of interest to social studies teachers. In addition, tips on applying for a grant (purpose, tone, resume, need, letters of recommendation, and action plan) are provided. (ERIC).
