| Introduction | I LOVE to travel and learn about other cultures in the world. I have traveled to Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Thailand, Japan and lived for over two years in South Korea where I worked as an English teacher. I graduated with a degree in Child Studies, a mulit-disciplinary degree consisting of Social Work, Child and Youth Care and Rehabilitation Studies. Currently, I live in the downtown, West End of Vancouver. I was working at a alternative school for pregnant and parenting teens and now I work with immigrant and refugee young adults. My work has its challenges but I am kept at peace living near the beach. Life has seemed to settle down a bit for now, but I know there will be many more adventures in the future! |

You've been invited to a fancy ball but the only thing you have to wear is an orange wooly jumper. What shoes do you wear?
