It's the little things!!!

26/9/13-- In Russell Square before class, I sat in a park and had to take this clip of a little munchkin that just killed me with cuteness!




24/9/13--Just received the most adorable and thoughtful care package from my boyfriend and his mom. Sweatpants, because he knew mine have seen better days, only the best lotions and soap, USA pencils for my students, paper clips to use in internship, some lovely snacks so I don't go hungry, a Starbucks gift card, and finally, a miniature beach with sand, shells, and shark teeth all the way from South Carolina. I love and miss you guys so much!!!! Thank you.

Magic in Medellin

The weekend that past was a holiday here, Fiestas de Quito, and while everyone celebrated their traditions here, playing Cuarenta (a super competitive card game), eating hornado (pork) a traditional dish accompanied with avocado, mote (which is in the corn family), and llapingachos (potatoes), I flew to Colombia. Colombia is a place that people are afraid of. Many people think of Colombia as a place that still holds the reputation it had in the past, especially in the city I was in, Medellin.

Introduction to Venezuela: Week 1

Hello World! I know there are so many people wondering what in the world I'm doing in South America. Well, I made a promise to myself after I studied abroad that, before I "settle down", I will teach abroad.  So... Because of my unbelievably supportive boyfriend Seth and my family who are worried every minute of the day--and I'm sure even in the middle of the night, I have taken a 5th grade teaching position at Escuela Bella Vista (EBV), an IB American school in Maracaibo, Venezuela. In the middle of my first year of teaching as an ESOL teacher, I applied to all of the international schools that offered positions through my account on ISS. I took this job because of two teachers who have been working at EBV for 5 years. They said three things that made my decision pretty clear:  " Here I actually get to teach , I feel supported in my decisions, and adore working with Ms. Gomez. She is very supportive of our decisions we make as teachers and always open to...
