The tall and short of it:
I’m a 20-something Northeastern American with a taste for tortilla and a severe dose of wanderlust. After completing my M.Ed. in International Education in 2010, I returned to southern Spain where I studied abroad, and taught English for the Spanish Ministry of Education. Endless joy, living in Europe, making my way around with eyes wide and wallet slowly emptying.
I’m bilingual and have turned the corner to brunette, no longer blonde. I’m crazy about food and books, volleyball and photography.
In real life, I’m the Study Abroad Coordinator at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Illinois, USA. The Midwest is a new gig for me, and while I have mixed feelings about the tiny town, I love working with students and helping them grow and learn through travel.

I love your comment about your first foreign country having the biggest impact. For me that was South Africa and Cape Town…and after 10 years I’m still going back to the Cape of Good hope for more.
Hello there!
My name is Malte Zeeck, and I am with InterNations.org. I really enjoyed reading your fantastic blog! I think expats in Italy and around the world could really gain some great insights [and have a few good laughs] on this page. The quality of the blog in general is very convincing, which is why I would love to feature you and your writing on the Recommended Blog on Italy section on InterNations.org
Not only do we feature and link to your blog prominently; we also would like to hear from you directly in our questionnaire! We have also designed a link badge for your blog.
