¡Hola amigos!
I am excited to announce to you that I have enrolled in a Teaching English as a Second Foreign Language (TEFL) Course  and a Spanish Language Immerson Program in Cusco, Peru! I will be traveling, learning, and growing in Peru for three weeks in November (yes, next month).

While the educational, cultural, and spiritual growth that I will experience is priceless, the travel and program expenses are not. Any donations, shares, or support is a blessing to me and I thank you for your love and kindness in advance.
HOW I GOT HERE
The past five years have not been easy. My dad passed away unexpectedly,my love and I split up for reasons beyond our control, the COVID-19 pandemic, and work induced burn out in the corporate world. Through it all, I have found peace and gratitude through spiritual and personal growth through these life lessons. Nothing is truly bad if something good comes from it, right?

Recently, I have had to do a lot of thinking about what truly makes me happy and sparks joy when it comes to my career path. For as long as I can remember, I have always considered myself a student of the world. This drive is followed by an innate energy to share my gained knowledge with others in any way I can.

This takes us to right now. I have had an epiphany! My soul is telling me that I need to teach and continue to find myself in this big beautiful world.

I have joined 2 programs with Maximo Nivel, a leading organization in study abroad and educational travel in Latin America.

In between, I will be seeing all of the beautiful ancient sites that this magical, historic city has to offer, including Machu Picchu!
