Hello! My name is Brett. I am an English teacher from the US, but I took a year off work to do some traveling. My goal is to explore all of beautiful Southeast Asia and the surrounding countries.

I just recently finished a two year contract teaching in Yap, Micronesia, a small island between Guam and Palau. Before that I taught in Hawaii for two years and the Marshall Islands for four. I have fallen in love with living in Micronesia/ the Pacific Region, and that is why I am currently exploring the countries within close proximity to where I’ve been.

Every country I have had the privilege of either living in or visiting has touched me in a special way. My childhood was spent in USA and Canada, and my years of teaching have led me all over the world from Russia all the way to Micronesia. The fondest memories I have are those places I’ve spent the most time in. While I do love traveling, growing up with people, in my opinion, creates the best memories.

I’ve learned it’s not about the number of countries visited, but rather it’s about the time spent, people met, positive changes made, and adventures had in each one.

兴趣

I love to read, write, walk, hike, play the piano, and of course travel. I am guilty of spending hours scrolling through social media, so recently I’ve gotten rid of my Instagram to try and make my life more productive and meaningful. I vlog on YouTube, but I’m not here to advertise it, so if you want to see my channel, ask and I’ll send you a link.

教，学，和分享

As I’ve stated, I’m an English teacher, and it’s a profession I thoroughly enjoy. While I’ve instructed and tutored mostly high school and college age students, the level I’ve predominantly taught has been beginner to intermediate level as most of my students are learning English as a second language. Despite this, I want to improve in my profession and have furthered my education to help me do so.

BA: English Secondary Education
MA: English Curriculum & Instruction
CERT: Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL)
