I am a VIPKID Teacher!

i am a vipkid teacher

  My Aunt Julie is the reason I have the travel bug.  My mom, dad, grandma, and aunt are one of the reasons I fell in love with teaching, despite saying I would never, EVER be like them or a teacher when I was younger. Oops! When I left Hong…

During my brief hiatus from blogging these past two weeks, my best friends from home came to visit me here in Hong Kong! It was so much fun being able to show them a bit of my life here, halfway across the world, and it was also fun to be a…

Sunday Reflections: My Hong Kong Story

February 15, 2015 May 14, 2017Asia, Hong Kong, Wanderings 4

A few months ago, I wrote a somewhat popular post about My French Story and what lead me to learning French and eventually living there. I thought I would follow up with my less exciting story on how I got to Hong Kong. As you can see from my French story, I…

Sunday Reflections: The New Year

February 1, 2015 May 14, 2017Hong Kong, Wonderings 0

Another year has come and gone. The end was full of joy and laughter, but yet again so much loss for myself once more. It is often so hard to stay positive and motivated when so many things are beyond your control. I guess this is why most people put…

Thought Thursdays: Teaching is a Real Job

September 25, 2014 May 14, 2017Asia, Hong Kong, Wonderings 1

A lot of my friends and people I know don’t think I actually have a job here in Hong Kong. They think that I am just faffing about (hehe, another British word I like) traveling the world. Yes, I am traveling when I get the chance, but I also am…

Wander Wednesday/Friday Firsts: Hong Kong Junks

September 17, 2014 May 14, 2017Asia, Hong Kong, Wanderings 0

So I know I mentioned I will be in Korea soon, but I am also going on a sudden work trip to China and I think this may be blocked there. Therefore, I am writing my post which I was going to write for Friday today. Hong Kong Junks. No,…

Friday Firsts: Traveling Solo

September 12, 2014 March 24, 2018Asia, China, France, Hong Kong, Tips, Tricks, and Lists, Wanderings 0

Well, I went my first entire week without blogging (on this blog…). I know this is horrible thing to do in the blogging world, especially in your first 90 days. Oops. But man have I been busy. Anywho, I am taking you on a trip to the past, and coincidentally it…

Top Ten Tuesdays: Top Ten British-isms I now do (and American expats probably do!)

September 2, 2014 March 24, 2018Asia, Hong Kong, Tips, Tricks, and Lists, Wanderings, Wonderings 9

I have now lived abroad, away from my home of Illinois, for three years. I spent almost a year in France and a little over two in Hong Kong. I think American accents are the most influenced and malleable of all English accents, and the Midwest accent especially. When I was…

    Day 344 : Another trip around the sun. Hard to bel Day 344 : Another trip around the sun. Hard to believe where this year has taken me. Last year I was celebrating over Zoom, hadn't been able to see my family in a year nor travel.

This year while still surviving COVID, I've gotten to see my family, quit a job, moved halfway across the world, started school again in a different language, went from living by myself to having roommates, traveled more than last year. Not many people do this at my age or even ever. I can definitely say I am fortunate! 

While there have been many ups and downs, can't wait to see what the next year brings.

Thanks for all the well wishes!

But this time it isn't France it is... Slovakia. Hard to miss it, it's astonishingly white.
