Teaching Abroad in Taiwan: A Home for the Restless Wanderer

The following is Teacher Joanna’s reflection on her teach abroad experience.

The last place I ever thought I would call a home is Taipei, Taiwan.  I am originally from the midwestern hub of Chicago, Illinois but have spent a significant portion of my academic and professional career living outside the United States.  I have lived in Spain and South Korea and traveled to more than 25 countries, yet, there I found something different in Taiwan. Taiwan is special; it is an overlooked gem in the heart of Asia.
