A Brand New Addition to My Family

Happy February followers!!

 2014 is moving along at a nice clip....and some exciting things are happening.

 1st of all, first semester is over and we are now on Spring Break. 



OK- so no crazy MTV Spring Break parties for me... because I have a new addition to my flat. 

Klaudinka Janis was welcomed into my family 2 weeks ago. 


Yep,  I GOT A DOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Klaudy is about one year old, she was a rescue from a homeless person and previously spent most of her time in a shopping cart :(

I'm not sure exactly what kind of pooch she is, but I'm pretty sure she is mostly Border Terrier. And she is so, so, so adorable :) 

She's got the bling!


She is quite the contortionist as well!

She loves to get me up REAL early in the mornings!

Alert on her walk

I'm so thrilled to finally have a dog. It was quite a challenge in the beginning as she missed her foster mom a lot. But slowly, she has really bonded to me and I absolutely love her. It's a bit surreal to have another little thing to be responsible for and now I really feel settled here in Ostrava. Though don't let that fool you, I'm not here forever!!!!

Klaudy is very well behaved, in the flat. But on walks......well, she needs some work. To say she pulls and MUST smell everything is an understatement. We'll be working on that this week- which is why I didn't go anywhere over break. We're going to spend our week bonding and working on leash manners. 

Oh and watching the.....


I LOVE the Olympics! So, I'll be spending all week soaking it in. Couldn't be timed any better- a week off to spend a lot of time watching the Olympics. 

AND it will also give me a chance to catch up on the blog....lots of pictures and trips have happened this year, I just might have time to get you all caught up!!

A new look and part 2 school trip

Image
I updated the blog look this morning...do we like? It looks a wee bit more professional, I think, but still...I'm so unsavvy that I can't figure out how to change the "About Me" part as obviously I'm no longer 40 and no longer in Czech Republic... Ah well. Here's what you really came for- the second part of the Guarija trip photos!! Let me know what you think of the new look. And maybe, just maybe, I'll keep up my goal of blogging everyday...

New School Year- New Country

Image
Hello my 4 followers (Mom & Dad, I see you!!)...I'm back 😀 And in a brand new country! After living in Europe for almost 8 years, it was time to change things up again and experience a new culture and language. So, I decided to pack up and move to South America. Colombia, to be exact. Back in October/ November 2018, I started talking with the Head of Colegio Colombo Britanico in Cali, Colombia. Also, at the same time, I started the application process to become an English Language Fellow through the State Department. Think Peace Corps for Master teachers. The application process is pretty thorough and after several months and interviews, I was accepted into the pool of English Language Fellows. The next step was to wait to see if I would get a placement. About the time that I was waiting for a placement with ELF, I was offered a teaching position with Colegio Colombo Britanico. As I was weighing the pros and cons, and trying to block out all the negative nellies who we...

How is it May???!!!

Image
Welp, it's May. How? How is that possible? Once again, I'm doing a crappy job of keeping this blog updated. I've never claimed to be a blogger. There is no real purpose to this blog- is it about travel? is it about teaching? is it about life? Who knows? Who cares??? I guess between Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, and life...my blog gets the short end of the stick. But there are people (ahem, my parents) who only see things on this blog, so I'm going to try over the next month to make this more of a space to write and reflect and share. I've said this before. We'll see if I keep it up- chances are slim. Anyhoodle... So much has happened ...sort of. I'm  to be real honest- the first 6 months living in Colombia sucked. Teaching sucked. The students sucked. The weather sucked. Life outside of teaching sucked. I almost didn't return after Christmas break. For real. At the airport in Denver, I sat in the bathroom when they were maki...
