Maria Lacey

Reflections of a Traveling Teacher Maria Lacey

Stepping out into a different world

Maria and Tony Lacey left Australia's hot summer behind them and landed in Canada in the depths of a freezing winter so that Maria could undertake an International Teaching Fellowship. Maria's extensive diaries have been transformed into a compelling read. Discover how she navigated snowy roads on the wrong side in the dark, encountered students with different attitudes, practices and slang, attempted snowy and icy sports with minimal success, made it to all ten provinces across Canada and developed friendships with so many people she met.
