Welcome!

My name is Elaine. I am a British teacher who left the UK to work overseas many years ago. So far I have taught in Japan, Vietnam, Sweden, India, and now Slovakia.

I make the most of my holidays to do the thing I love most…travel!

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain
