2017 Australia Travel Blog

​Myla S. Liljemark   
Hello! I have been an educator in Seward, Alaska for 15 years, teaching grades 7-12.  Currently, I teach 7th and 8th grade social studies at Seward Middle School. In 2017, I participated in a year-long teacher-exchange to Australia with my family.  
In my spare time I enjoy enjoying exploring the outdoors, hiking, and traveling.
