What inspired me most about going to teach abroad was the opportunity to explore. I had nothing tying me back and so I kept telling myself it was now or never. There is so much of Europe that I have wanted to explore that the idea of living in Spain, so close to it all, seemed like a dream come true. I had heard that flights to many of the countries and cities I want to see were inexpensive and that made it all seem so doable. I also really wanted to practice on my Spanish and get a chance to live on my own. I had always lived with a roommate or family, and I thought this would be a great time to live by myself and really get to know more about myself. My oldest sister taught English in South Korea so that really inspired me as well.

What inspired you to travel abroad?

A typical day of work for me is answering emails, a lot of emails! I communicate with our program participants, checking up with those already in Spain and those that are just starting the applications process. Then, around mid-afternoon, we will most likely have a team meeting to go through the highs and lows of our program. We are always trying to improve and better what we are offering to our participants. Then it's back to emails and phone calls. 

What inspired you to travel abroad?

I went to La Palma (one of the smaller islands in the Canary Islands) with my husband for a week, and we were blown away. The island easily appeals to any type of traveler. We particularly enjoyed the food, it was sensational. Also, we enjoyed driving to every point of the island looking for adventures.
