CURRENT MISSION

To see the world

ABOUT ME

I am a teacher at an American school in Korea. I currently teach Spanish. Teaching overseas was my dream--I am living it. :-) I plan on being in Seoul for a couple more years and then to another school in a different country. I love languages, although I personally have no linguistic talents. I love to read and my dog.
