About Me
Introduction:
I love the adventure of traveling to foreign lands. I have previously taught TEFL in China, Korea, and to Tibetan monks in India. I currently am on the island of Molokai teaching English Language Arts to 7th graders. My hope is to travel to Japan at the end of the 2018-2019 school year to teach TEFL again. All together, I have three years experience teaching overseas.
