Intake Questionnaire: Travels last modified:2/9/14

Name ______________________________________________________

Humboldt traveled the world, visiting many of the places listed below. Others in the list are particularly important for learning about his life, work, and significance. For each location, mark "Y" if you have been there (beyond just changing planes), "N" if you have not. Where you mark "Y", indicate also whether you have distinct memories of the place. Where you mark "N", indicate also how close to that place you have been (probably in hundreds / thousands of miles). In the boxes below the list, add other significant parts of the world you have visited. Below the boxes are some open-ended questions about your travels.

On any of your travels did you do "Humboldtian" things (however you define that)? If so, please give an example or several.













If you traveled someplace that Humboldt also visited, how great or little, in your opinion, was the resemblance between that place when you visited it and in Humboldt's time?
