As a young adult, she traveled the world living and teaching abroad in various countries such as Italy, Greece, India, Iran, Israel, Afghanistan, Russia, Japan, Latin America and the United Arab Emirates. One of her favorite countries was Costa Rica where she taught at the international Costa Rica American Academy and Lincoln School for three years.
