When I tell people that I'm moving to Italy, they usually ask what I'll be doing there (teaching English) and how I came to my decision to do that.
Since I get asked this so much, I thought this might be a good thing to write about.
During my junior year of college, I studied abroad in Antwerp, Belgium for three months. I had an absolute blast there and grew so much as a person, and officially caught the travel bug. That March, I went to Nicaragua for an alternative spring break trip. During that trip, our group got to sit in with a class at the university in Leon, with a group of students who spoke English fairly well.
