The Next Adventure
Seven years ago, I decided I wanted to teach overseas and during the year long process, I said I "would go anywhere but India". I was never drawn to India and wasn't interested in going. An amazing school from Mumbai contacted me and I decided to take the plunge!
My life has changed soooo much in the 6 years I have been here.
1) India was my 5th country, now I have been to 39!
2) I could check my email and make a decent math worksheet on Word and that was the extent of my technology skills. Now I have
my masters degree in Educational Technology.
3) I have improved greatly as a teacher!
4) I know a lot more about Geography and culture, especially India.
India has been home for a long time and change is hard, but necessary.
After 6 years, I am ready for a change. I wanted to go somewhere that I could eat the food (I am allergic to Indian food and miss out on a lot of culture because I can't eat the food). I also wanted to go where there is a culture of running and I wanted to be closer to home. Well I have found my new place!
1) I will get to eat BEEF!
2) I will get to experience winter, although it will be in June/July.
3) I will get to learn a new language.
4) I will probably become a football fan because it is practically their national religion.
5) I will get to see a ton of cultural/natural sites that I have always wanted to see!
Sao Paulo, Brazil!!!!!
I am ridiculously excited!! I have always wanted to live in South America!!
I am very fortunate that I found my job so early so now I can stop researching schools and countries and just focus on enjoying my last months in India!
