I've been toying with the idea of starting a blog for the last 4 years when I started teaching. But then....well, teaching happened. If you know anything about being a teacher and teaching, you know that your everyday is sleep, wake up at the crack of dawn, teach some children, deal with some BS, go home, eat, sleep, repeat. I didn't know that at the time. Anyway, fast forward 4 years and here we are!
In the next couple of weeks, I will be moving to the Dominican Republic for a year to not only spend QT with my fam, but also to work for an amazing, education-based non-profit in the northern coast of the island. I've always wanted to "take some time off" and while I'll still be "working," it is surely time off of the craziness called my life :)
In this blog, I will be documenting my year of (hopefully!) rejuvenation, re-energizing, and enlightenment. I suppose there will be other rants, too, about being natural in the DR (ay Dios, I don't know if I'm ready to seriously tell people off), staying fit in a place where white rice and fried chicken are a staple, speaking Spanish 95% of the day, and not having dumplings readily accessible. I seriously don't know what I'm stepping into but, join me for the ride!
