How I did it
How to become a better teacher
It took me
15 months
It made me
enjoy my job

How I did it: I constantly tried out new ways of doing things. When I was having trouble with a class I would think about what they needed and how I could approach things in a different way. I'm by no means an excellent teacher, but I learned a lot in those 15 months. Read how I did it…

How to go on a bike trip
It took me
1 month
It made me
feel alive

How I did it: I had been planning this trip for awhile. I ended up investing a lot of money (bike, bike accesories, camping gear), but it was definitely worth it! I followed the 88 temple pilgrimage route around Shikoku. Unfortunately due to time constraints I was only able to go from Tokushima to Kochi city. I will have to finish the route another time because I had the time of my life! Read how I did it…
