Being an international educator means more than just traveling—it’s about embracing curiosity everywhere. While I’ve explored the world, I’ve also learned that meaningful discoveries happen right in my own neighborhood.
Living and teaching abroad has shown me that exploration isn’t about how far you go—it’s about how deeply you engage. Some of the most meaningful cultural exchanges happen in everyday moments: a conversation with a local vendor, a shared tradition with a colleague, or seeing a familiar street in a new light. These small but powerful experiences shape my understanding of the world just as much as traveling to a new country.
