About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Slowing down and not letting life pass me by

ABOUT ME

After 5 glorious years in NYC as a teacher and Special Education Coordinator in both public and charter schools, I made the leap to work in education here in Cambodia. I have been in Cambodia for 3 months (living in Phnom Penh) and recently moved to Prey Veng, the provincial capital of Prey Veng province. I absolutely love this country, and would love to help you to love it, too. I am living by myself and have an extra bedroom--and since there is quite of shortage of English-speaking foreigners in this part of Cambodia--I figured I'd try taking in some Couchsurfers to make visitor friends.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.
