Faye Brenner

Faye Brenner is an educator. She has worked in formal education as a high school teacher and as a specialist in advanced academics. Her professional experience in residential summer camping and tour guiding are grounded in informal education. Each of these careers gave her the opportunity to travel the world, globetrotting with students, friends, family, and professional colleagues. Her first book, "Transforming Student Travel: A Resource Guide for Educators," brings together educational theory and practical tips for student tour guides, enhancing the student tour experience. She wrote "Collywobbles: Tales of Travel, Life, and Anxiety" as a way to survive her forced retirement caused by an ankle replacement, as well as the Coronavirus pandemic and the stress of the 45th presidency. Faye lives in Durham, North Carolina, with her two dogs, Zora and Trixie. She has suffered from a mild case of generalized anxiety disorder for most of her life.
