CURRENT MISSION

Brit-hearted American who loves to travel and learn about the cultures of the world. I travel as much as I can.

ABOUT ME

30 year old female. I live in Guadalajara, Spain. I am an au pair for a family with a 8 year old little girl and a 17 year old boy. I am of Irish, British, French, Native American, and German heritage. I love meeting new people and learning about other countries and their cultures. I want to go to grad school in Ireland for Cultural Anthropology or European Studies. I am also studying Spanish right now in Madrid so I can go to grad school.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to help people with culture shock and adaptation in other countries. I want to live the rest of my life in Europe working with international business people with culture shock and possibly be a professor.
