By February 2020, life in Thailand was shifting as COVID was making it’s global debut.… Read More Pandemic Fruits of the Spirit
To cross the world used to take months on steam ships and now we can do it in a day while making poor food choices and watching movies. It’s an amazing time to be alive.

This past semester was Matthew’s first foray into the world of teaching English as a second language. It’s not just a means to a visa, but a great way to meet new people and collect some funny / awkward stories along the way. Arguably, the hardest part of teaching is not laughing when you want… Read More ESL Adventures
