Hey, I'm Amy, and I'm a 1st grade teacher at an international school in Mandalay, Myanmar. This is my first year teaching at the school, and my first year of teaching altogether. It's been a fun journey so far, and I look forward to all the adventures to come. (I wish I could host guests, but there are government rules that forbid it. I can help with finding cheap accommodations if anyone is interested.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have occasional breaks from school, and I'm using them to explore as much as I can around me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moving to Myanmar has been pretty cool. I also slept on top of a 50-foot climbing tower one summer as a camp counselor, which isn't too amazing, but I was pretty afraid of heights at the time. Not anymore though ;)
