Welcome to my first post on Yoors. I go by a variety of names in my writing life, but here, you can call me Tara.

I'm from Canada, although I've not spent much of my adult life living there. I return, spent a little time to accomplish something, and then I'm off into the world again. I'm a bit of a work-travel type. The best way to get to know a place is to live in it and work with the locals, so that is what I have done.

In the last few years, I've spent time in Central Asia and most recently moved to the country of Georgia, which sits in an interesting position on the border of Western Asia and Eastern Europe between a few large and powerful countries. Let's just say I'm learning a lot about this region's geopolitics.

I've done a lot of different jobs in my life, but the one I keep coming back to is teaching. I used to teach math and science, but in the last 20 years, I've focused on English as a foreign language, working in Taiwan, mainland China, Kyrgyzstan, and Georgia. I hope to write about my work and travel experiences here and I look forward to you joining me on reliving the adventure!
