Chris Blake

I teach World History and am the Assistant Athletic Director at Topsail High School in Southeastern North Carolina. My love for traveling started as a child traveling all around the US, but it was a trip to South Africa in the summer of 2009 that ignited my passion for international travel.

I have had the privilege of taking over 150 students on international tours since 2018 and my only regret is not starting earlier in my career! Not only do I get to travel and show our students the world - I get to witness students expanding their horizons and gaining skills that will benefit them throughout their life.
​
Each trip gives students a chance to escape their comfort zone, experience new cultures, and hopefully fall in love with traveling. Students on these tours get a chance to actually see and experience the things we learn about in school!
