About Me
- Wonder Woman
- From 2006-2008 I was extremely fortunate to experience many frustrating, humbling, hilarious, amazing, enriching moments while living and traveling abroad in Asia. In South Korea I learned to love Korean food and marathoning. After that, I taught English in the US for the spring and summer 2009 semesters. I'm glad I did because I was very fortunate to meet my husband! We left for Qatar "The Pearl of the Gulf" shortly after marrying. We stayed two years, but are now back in the US where the rain falls and the green grass grows. Disclaimer: My opinions, observations, and re-telling of my experiences are uniquely my own and are not meant to represent my nation, family, friends, nor employer. I am simply an individual who loves to see the world first hand and who has now chosen to share it with others.
