⚡️2019 was all about cultural discoveries, outdoor adventures, musical journeys, self-development and new beginnings. Thank you life for yet another sensational year. ✨2020 will be all about… More self-love… less negativity More meditation and yoga... less anxiety More confidence…. less fears More being present… less screen time More recycling…. less consuming More acceptance…less judgements And of course, new world explorations, lots of sunshine, and an abundance of love 💜 May your 2020 be as exciting and enriching as you wish for. ✌🏻
A heart full of gratitude, a belly full of goodies and two lungs full of fresh air. Happy 2020! 💙☃️🌲⛷
It’s confirmed, it’s signed, it’s official. In August 2020, I will be pursuing my international teaching career as a grade 4 teacher at the Colegio de Inglaterra in no other city than bustling Bogotá! I am over the moon for this opportunity to move to the next stage in my career as an elementary teacher. This will be an extremely enriching experience for me and I am more than ready to face the challenge. Living and working for the next two years in magnificent Colombia, a country I have yet discovered, will be unbelievable. 🇨🇴 I left a piece of my heart in Latin America last year when I travelled in Central America for eight months. I knew this is where I wanted to write the next chapter of my life. I believed in it and here I am today, living my dream. ❤️ “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.” So go for it. Have fantasies, have ambition, follow your bliss, and see where it leads you. Our intuition rarely disappoints. ✨ Until then, let’s get back to those Spanish books and salsa shoes! Nos vemos pronto mi querida Colombia! 💃🏼 Thank you life for everything. This will be fucking awesome. 😎
Last month I attended the @search_associates Latin America job fair in the beautiful capital city of Panama. At first I was hesitating about making the trip (cost and time wise) but it ended being an incredible professional experience. I would recommend any of my international teaching fellows to attend a job fair one day. It’s a perfect opportunity to start (or continue) building a network of international school teachers and recruiters as well as learning about schools and even places you’ve never heard before. Having adventurousness and an open mind usually bring great surprises. I came back with a new passport stamp, new professional skills and acquaintances and yes, a signed contract for my next position (see next post for details)! Overall, a very positive and fruitful weekend. Oh, and the city itself was not too bad! 🇵🇦 🍎 👩🏼‍🏫
Better late than never. 😅 . Apart from dancing all night long, I had to chance to explore and taste the beauty of Prague. This was my first time visiting an Eastern European country and I was extremely pleased by the stunning architecture, the perfect autumn weather, the cheap food and of course the great beer! I will be back for more one day. 😊 . Fun fact: Budweiser actually comes from Czech Republic. The original Budweiser brewery was founded during the 13th Century. It only came in America in 1870. Afterwards, the US decided to create their own and named it “Bud”. I did the taste test: Czech Republic wins. 🍻
Dis ce que tu ressens, quitte ce boulot que tu détestes, nourris tes passions, aimes du plus profond de toi, défends les choses qui sont importantes, ne te contente pas d’une vie moyenne, ne t’excuses pas d’être qui tu es. Sois courageux.✌🏻 . Thank you @gaelleexpand for the inspiration and for everything else you made me discover about myself, about my dreams, about my life. I am truly grateful today for all the personnal developpement work we did together. You help me find my voice. I know I am on my path. 😊 . This quote couldn’t reflect more my current mindset. A mindset that didn’t come to me naturally, I had to put in the work. I had to learn to listen to my little voice called intuition. This is when I started creating a life of my own. . There is no right or wrong way to live your life (this is the 32 years old single woman who’s about to teach abroad for another two years that’s talking!). If you want something in life, go get it. If there’s something you want to change about your life, change it. No one can or will do it for yourself except you, only you. The road might not be easy but the outcomes will be rewarding. No longer ignore your inner voice. Embrace your beautiful self and who you truly are. Take your courage and go for it. Don’t be afraid to be fucking brave. ✌🏻 (It’s worth it, I promise!) . And if you are already happy and fulfilled, well you shouldn’t be reading this message until here, you’ve got this! 😉👊🏻
