Castle Quest
Learn about castles throughout history and eventually design your own!
Learners explore castles worldwide in a GeoGuessr challenge, research a favourite & present discoveries. They’ll study historical context & architecture, invent fictional dominions, then design & refine their own castles using graph paper. This series blends geography, history, art & design.
1 Your Guide
You found me! Well done. I’m the closest thing to a real-world Waldo you’ll ever meet. Just like the original character in Martin Handford’s books I go by the name Wally. Or you can just call me by Waldo’s German name: Walter (Wo ist Walter?!). I’m a tall lanky guy who likes traveling, reading books, and getting lost. I’m super curious about all sorts of topics and I love being a Guide because I get to share some of that curiosity with you!.
My interests usually revolve around doing stuff with my children (like going to the library and making crafts) and enjoying curiosity-fueled pastimes (like reading fantasy books, joining in cooperative storytelling games, and tinkering with hands-on projects). I studied business in university, travelled all around the world, and eventually came back to B.C. to get my teaching certification and become a teacher. Now I live in BOLIVIA with my family.
I've dressed as Waldo in front of people like Pope Francis and Tiger Woods, and in random places like Times Square and Nazareth.
