CURRENT MISSION

Living and learning

ABOUT ME

I smile a lot. I love to travel and meet people and try new things, taste new foods and explore and get lost and talk and dance and read and draw and take pictures and laugh and hum and knit and cook and sing in the shower and teach little French kids to pronounce the "th" sound in English and skip and workout at the gym and paint my nails and write in run-on sentences.

PHILOSOPHY

Smiling is more fun than frowning.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Riding camels through Giza to the pyramids was pretty darn cool, but really, the whole experience of coming to a foreign country to live work and learn has been an amazing experience, and certaily life-changing.

Teach, Learn, Share

In France, if you buy your train tickets at least 2 weeks in advance, they're cheaper. A whole month- even better.
