I am an ESL (TEFL) Teacher, who was raised in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Southwest Virginia. I am blessed that my parents raised me around diversity and encouraged me to learn about and embrace other cultures. I have enjoyed growing up, hiking and camping in the mountains, however I yearn to see the beauty of other parts the world. I would thoroughly enjoy learning from others who live abroad and sharing with them also. It is beautiful when people are willing to open their minds and hearts to find a common ground no matter how many miles separate them.
