CURRENT MISSION

I'm an addicted traveler, teacher, and writer. I sell TEFL certification courses and provide job placement for those who want to teach English abroad.

ABOUT ME

I used to say I'm shy but my friends swear I'm not. They're probably right. I like to chat, laugh and make the most out of any situation. Traveling to new and foreign places is what inspires me both to write and become a better person.

Check out my blog: www.missadventuretravel.com. You'll learn all about my experiences of traveling around Asia, teaching English to Thai high schoolers and, more recently, college students in China.

When I returned, I started my own business of selling TEFL/TESOL Certification Courses and providing recruitment in both Thailand and China. My site is TeachEnglishESL.com. Get in touch if you're interested in teaching English abroad!

PHILOSOPHY

More than 98% of people in this world are good hearted and well meaning. It's the less than 2% that create cause for fear of strangers.
