Travel information

I am currently

Description

I love to not only see the world, but to spend time actually getting to know the places that I see. Working or volunteering is a perfect way to do that, to get know the people who live in a different part of the world.

More details about your skills

My professional experience is as a teacher and journalist. I worked as a newspaper reporter until 2013. From that point, I have worked as a teacher around the world. I have taught in Colombia, Ecuador, South Korea, China, the United States, and most recently, rural Alaska.
I love teaching. I love writing. And I love helping kids learn about the huge world they live in.

What else ...

I love sports. I especially love football (the football we play in the US), basketball, volleyball, and pong pong.
I was a basketball and volleyball coach in Alaska.
I am very good with animals, especially dogs. I absolutely love dogs! I took in a street dog, a stray Alaskan Husky, when I lived north of the Arctic Circle. I then helped her raise her 5 puppies.
