One Small Planet Site Menu:

One Small Planet began in 1996 when Courtney Wise, was working as Curriculum Director for Kid's College, an ESL institute located in Seoul, Korea. Having enjoyed her experience working and living abroad, Courtney wanted to provide a resource for others who wanted to do the same.

For years the One Small Planet website has been a labor of love to share a love of travel and global studies.

However, more recently Courtney has gotten back in touch with her creative self and is redesigning the One Small Planet website to celebrate arts and crafts of the world. Look for jewelry kits containing unusual and uncommon beads and charms, recycled and natural beads, tribal and ethnic inspired jewelry art as well as imported jewelry coming soon to the site.

Her emphasis will be not only on natural and recycled materials, but also on artisan crafts made by women of the world who are using their skills to support their families, particularly in developing nations.

In the spirit of our original website concept, the page devoted toGeneral Information About Going Abroad filled with links and books with information on working, studying, volunteering and traveling abroad is still linked to the site. This page is useful for those just beginning their search for information to link to sites with extensive databases of international opportunities.
