Working abroad has always been a dream and I finally made it happen. I started in Turkey January 2015 and moved to Brussels August 2016. I can't say every minute has been easy but every day has brought me joy! I love to meet new people, see the world and travel cheap and light. I dance, hike, read, take photos, blog, write, and paint. I love the performing arts, especially theater. I am a teacher by profession, a student of history, politics and languages and I love a good, friendly, mature debate. I was married for 18 years, divorced for 7. I have two grown children who live in the US and sometimes travel with me. Europe is my happy place at the moment and I am making the most of the moments I have.
