My atypical life in Ecuador

Hola,

 

My name is Justine but my friends call me Peppy. My canadian friend gave me the nickname because she says I´m full of pep! I graduated from university in 2007 with a degree in Lingusitcs. I need a job so I applied for customer support position in a multi-national insurance company. The economic dropped like a tone of bricks and I ended up saying in the job for two and a half years. I always planned to be an English language teacher at home in New Zealand and also overseas. In May this year I quite my job where my tipical day invloved anserwing sixty insurance related phone calls. I headed to Ecuador where I did some futhur teacher training and then worked at a school for three weeks which was terrible so I had to leave. I´m still in Ecuador, at the moment I´m doing some private tutoring work. Tonight I´m teaching a man and his two young sons who own a hostel.  

I have no tpyical day in Ecuador at the moment and it´s amazingly refreshing. I´m improving my Spanish, gaining teaching expericence, dealing with the schock of moving from New Zealand (the Shire) to a developing country. I would love to visit Costa Rica or South Africa. Other than teaching I love to write so vote for me and I can guarantee that I will send you adventure tales from an exotic location.

 

While you are reading this email -- a little Peppy waits -- Vote for me :)
