My next destination:

I have involved with education in some way for over a decade. In 2009, I finished my first degree in History, at the University of British Columbia. Following this, I spent the next 6 years teaching, traveling, working and living abroad in four different continents. I have now returned to Canada, and I am in the process of getting a second degree in Education at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver.
I love to immerse myself into new places and environments. I believe the best way to do that is to stay in a place, work there, live there, learn the local customs and traditions and make connections with people.
These are things that I am passionate about, and that is exactly why I am on this website. I want to share the world and all the experiences that are possible within it, with the ever-growing global community.Languages spoken

What else ...
I have traveled to 45 countries (having lived in 10 of them for at least 6 months) in my life. I love going to new places, but even more than that, I love to integrate and immerse myself into a new society.

I won't soon forget those words. Diana, both my host and my mentor, introduced me to the cafe in Southern Cape Town. Her family also embraced me, welcomed me into their home and introduced me to this city in a really unique and localized way.
