Today I got to be interviewed to be briefly on the Discovery Channel to talk about Environmental Issues and the Future in Taiwan
(Asia's largest Independent Production company based out of Singapore)had some affiliates at NCKU campus thru their Taipei branch to document Environmental Future in Taiwan, called "Taiwan Revealed, Green Streets". It will air on the Discovery Channel in April.
So exciting to be apart of this :)!!
Here's to the future!

Today will be my last day of working at this cram school
Hello everyone
If you're curious about my life then I guess I can tell you a bit.
I will start with the routine mundane things first.
I am 27 years old, identified female, intrinsic traveler.
I struggle every day with anxiety.
I have a background in Psychology and interest in Theology, Philosophy, Linguistics, Anthropology, ect.
So I am currently subbing around at different cram schools in Tainan, Taiwan because I really detest being signed into a contract of any kind. It is going well because I was at first quite motivated and made some DIY fliers of me being an English tutor and I have thus found interesting college kids to teach.
I honestly feel Taiwan can hold me back a bit (my A type personality isn't always accepted or appreciated here) and I often feel unchallenged, unstimulated, and bored here.
Though there are alternative activities and events I am used to being in countries / areas where there is even more of a common mindset and believe about all of this stuff. Taiwanese strict education and cultural "repressive" (only in my western opinion) values can really make people inhibited from showing a lot of expression. There are of course exceptions to these rules, but as as general intake I feel it is definitely not the country with the best fit for my personality type. On the other hand it is a country (as most are) where westerners have an extreme upperhand and cost of living versus how much you make is extremely favorable here. Maybe that's why so many westerners get stuck teaching here for awhile. If you are very entrepreneurial you can easily start a business here. Many men find a local wife and do this.
Anyway.. goodbye to these children today. And my nice coworkers. Sorry I gave the kids too much candy. But i'm a funny teacher so it's appreciated. I want more videos of me teaching..
Time to get what I want no?
Im out.
Advice? Ideas? Ok!
