Another Change

After an unexpected turn of events this past Monday I was offered a job in Switzerland at Leysin American School. I'm beyond excited for this opportunity to live and work in such an amazing place. I don't think I could be working in a place that is a better fit for me than this school. In August I'll be moving to the Swiss village of Leysin, which is on the east side of Lake Geneva, and up in the mountains. This will be a huge change from where I'm at now. Suwon = 1.25 million people. Leysin = 3,000 people year round and 10,000 people during the ski season. I'll have daily access to skiing, mountain biking, road cycling, and hiking, right out of my front door. Ah!!!!!!!

The timing of all this was a bit difficult as I had verbally committed to another year at my current school. Thankfully I work under some wonderful people who support and understand me as a person. They knew my heart wasn't here in Korea and that it was a dream of mine to move to Switzerland. So when the opportunity arose they were supportive of me pursuing the position.

Something tells me I'll have a few more visitors at my next location :)
