Next, I suppose I should explain the purpose of this blog, again with a little bit of an apology. I have been living and teaching in China for the past 1 1/2 years and I am returning home to America in two weeks (I know, I know, then why am I starting a blog now?! I am asking myself the same question, and I don't have an answer). I plan on continuing this lifestyle as a traveling teacher (after coming home to marry off my one and only baby sister, and find a semi-permanent home for my car, a bank that can actually make international transactions, see estranged friends and family...you know, the not-so-glamorous parts of international travel)
So I guess, the purpose of this blog is to share what my life has been like for the past 1 1/2 years, as I will try and post something every couple of days until I have recapped this time period of my life adequately. The other purpose is to continue to update what it is like to teach abroad in other countries (as I hope to be jetting off again to another exotic locale within a year of being back in America). Additionally, I imagine (read: hope) I will be teaching in America while I am home, and so I also hope to compare my experience teaching Chinese students to teaching American students.
Mostly, this blog is for me to puzzle out my own feelings on the subject of teaching and traveling and working in another country. But if you have any interest in the subjects, or are just a friend/family member of mine who wants to be kept appraised of my activities in more depth than what is available on FB, I sincerely hope that you read it and enjoy it. Or again, move onto the next blog.
