About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To laugh so hard I cry in every country...

ABOUT ME

After graduating from college, I got bit by the rambli'n bug and went off to teach Highschool English in Ajaccio, Corsica. There I met my lovely partner in crime, and we've been scheming to live around the world ever since! We plan on taking our rucksacks whichever way the wind is blow'n to meet fun people from all walks of life!

PHILOSOPHY

I accept chaos, but I'm not sure whether it accepts me.
-Bob Dylan

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last winter I was able to spend a month looking at refugee culture in certain parts of Austria with a friend from school. I was able to go to different churches, organizations and schools started by African and Iranian refugees, looking at how Austrian society supports these institutions. We had some just amazing and humbling moments, inspiring me to go into ESL/EFL education as a way to support immigrants.
