Overview

"Independence, optimism, and resilience characterize my life's journey and are the main themes of this book, which is for the over-fifty women out there who are retired or starting a new chapter in their lives. You may think, ""It's too hard, ""I'm too old"", or ""How do you teach if you don't know their language?"" First, there is excellent training available, and it has been proven that you can learn your whole life. Secondly, a lot of cultures respect their elders, and thirdly, most countries have a little English due to colonialism and speak a mixture of English and their own language, for example, Chinglish in China. A lot of schools have teaching assistants to help out in the classroom. Come with me and share the sights, sounds and aromas of the different countries and the unique culture and charm of each people group."

Author Information

I grew up in Vancouver, Canada, a beautiful city with its beaches and mountains and outdoor lifestyle, but I always wanted to travel and see more of this wide, wide world. When the opportunity came along to teach in China I grabbed it. My father was a former pilot and I think my wanderlust came from him. My first teaching experience was in China, and four years later I signed a contract for South Korea, and kept on teaching and travelling for the next eighteen years. Seven of those years were in Oman in the Arab world and four of them were in Cambodia in Southeast Asia. Richer in experiences and friendships I finally came home to Canada in 2019. I brought my canine companion Milo with me, rescued from the life of a guard dog in Cambodia. We live in Prince George now and it's a friendly place. We have both made some wonderful friends in our new home in the centre of BC.
