Moving to Myanmar!

I remember sitting in Dr. Robinson’s class in 2007 at UF, listening to a speaker talk about the possibilities of teaching abroad. I remember thinking, “That would be SO COOL to live abroad!” Almost ten years later, it’s actually happening.
I am four days away from leaving Chicago, and a little over two weeks away from leaving the United States. My experience in Yangon, Myanmar will kickoff Year Nine for my teaching career, and I could not be more excited. I have a really good feeling about the people I’ve “met” through social media. Also, the position is my dream job: I’ll be teaching the exact age ranges that I’ve wanted to teach for quite some time, and I get to explore a brand new (to me) part of the world. I love my job and I live to travel, so I cannot WAIT to start living my dream!
In the meantime, I’ll be packing the rest of my life into the last of the cardboard boxes and finishing my goodbyes to Chi-town.
