Hi, my name is Jamie and I taught English in Taiwan from August 2014 to April 2018, before that I was a destination wedding specialist, and now I'm working on an online brand while doing some traveling at the same time.

I enjoy meeting new people and think meeting locals is essential anytime I visit a new country.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can teach/remind others that there's always a bright side to things and that life is really what you make it to be

Learn: I was raised in Toronto, so I'd love to learn how to get my hands dirty with work and be comfortable with it.

Share: "I speak of wondrous unfamiliar lessons from childhood
Make you remember how to smile good." - Chance The Rapper
