Hi everyone! I'm you're average wanderlust-stricken 27 year old. I moved to Spain in order to take advantage of traveling throughout Europe cheaply. I want to do and see as much as possible while I'm here (which is indefinitely). I chose Spain in order to become fluent in speaking the language, but I know if I travel and find somewhere I love even more, that it will be my next home-base. Teaching/education is my passion which is why I have a bachelors in it, a masters in it, and a TEFL to teach English abroad. But hand in hand with teaching comes a constant desire to learn myself, so please, enlighten me on something!

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Pretty open to all music (love new suggestions), I could watch Silver Linings Playbook a million times, also a Harry Potter nerd, and anything written by Tom Robbins is golden (he's a literary genius).

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Quit my job when I realized it was making me unhappy and moved to a country where I knew no one.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

Here's one of my favorite quotes from Tom Robbins-

“The enemy of the black is not the white. The enemy of capitalist is not communist, the enemy of homosexual is not heterosexual, the enemy of Jew is not Arab, the enemy of youth is not the old, the enemy of hip is not redneck, the enemy of Chicano is not gringo and the enemy of women is not men. We all have the same enemy. The enemy is the tyranny of the dull mind. The enemy is every expert who practices technocratic manipulation, the enemy is every proponent of standardization and the enemy is every victim who is so dull and lazy and weak as to allow himself to be manipulated and standardized.”

Every time I read this, in a different time and different setting it means something new, something more.
