One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I taught myself English when I was younger and decided to move out of the country, away from my family and friends, which demanded a lot of courage and strength, but life is great anywhere in the world!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching and learning new languages and all aspects of different cultures (like culinary, philosophy, literature) are a great passion for me.
