Introduction
I am from the United States, originally born in Ohio but moved around several times when I was younger. My parents instilled a sense of "going" in me. I made it to 50/50 states at age 24. I completed my first MA in June of this year (2014), and have since moved to Latvia to start teaching English.
I joined expat.com on 24 August 2014.
Expat experience
I've in Lithuania for the past four summers, spending between two weeks and 2.5 months in Klaipeda. During this time I have either taken classes, volunteered with the national park service along the coast-line, and volunteered as an English teacher (x3).
I like that the location is close to the beach. There are many cool places to explore in old town including good restaurants, and interesting museums. I also really enjoyed taking classes at LCC International University and interacting with my classmates from across the world. And volunteering as an English teacher with Upper-Intermediate students, always changes my life positively!
At first it was difficult to meet people and to volunteer within the community, but patience and a serving heart will take you far with the right contacts.
