Recently I spent a year tutoring English as a second language for immigrants and internationals. I moved to Seattle for a year to work in interior redesign and now I’ve decided to come to the place I call home, Pittsburgh. I lived in the Philippines until I was six, so I’ve always been interested in culture and travel.
