ABOUT ME

I currently live in Guanajuato, Mexico with my boyfriend. I am a laid back, yoga-loving person with a great interest in education. I used to be a social studies teacher in South Texas (RGV) and loved the job. I now study the history of education in relation to migrant children.

PHILOSOPHY

Try to see the lighter side of every situation and live with calm

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)
