My Name is Genevieve


I got my first taste for traveling when I was 13 years old and visited Indonesia with my family. Ever since, the wanderlust in me has been strong! After graduating college and working for a while, I decided to make a change and moved to Spain where I taught English for a year and I continue to teach ESL online.
