Let the Adventure Begin

As you may already know, we accepted positions at Almaty International School in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Jessica will be teaching high school literature and writing and Dan will be teaching junior high cultural studies and language arts.

We are currently wrapping up our lives at Bromley Brook School and in Manchester Center. We have enjoyed our time here and are growing a bit nostalgic over our lives here but are eager for another adventure. We have about 3 more weeks in Vermont before we head to Idaho for the summer months. Needless to say, we are very excited about having our first summer off in a while (note: we have been teaching at a year-round school for 3 years).

We plan to use this blog to document our lives abroad for our family, friends and current and future students. We will try to include relevant and irrelevant photos and commentary as we see fit.

Our blog is named after a quote by Mark Twain which reads:

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that 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.
