The same, but different
Bulloch County native and wife travel world, find commonalities
Nubern and Student Web
World-traveling couple Lindsey Nubern, left, and Adam Nubern, right, meet with seventh-grader Kai Owens at Southeast Bulloch Middle School following the Nuberns' talk at the school on the differences and similarities of people all over the world they discovered during their 17-month-long travels.
A 2005 graduate of Statesboro High School, Adam Nubern and his wife, Lindsey, spent the past 17 months traveling the world, and the couple recently shared their travels with seventh-graders at Southeast Bulloch Middle School. Their travels took the Nuberns to Hawaii and other parts of the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Malaysia, Australia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam, but their talk at SEBMS focused primarily on Southeast Asia, because, as a teacher pointed out, "You have a test on Friday." What began as a journey by two wanderlusts to explore the distinctions of other cultures actually turned into a revelation of sameness, and the Nuberns sought to share that concept with the students.
