Hello, hello! My name is Kendra and I'm a SoCal teacher with a need to continue learning and a heart torn between staying put in my comfy zone and pushing myself to go out and explore absolutely everywhere. I taught in Japan for a few years and am now about to leave for Peace Corps Zambia for the next 27 months. I would just love to have you join me on my adventure!

Video Diary: My First Day Teaching in Japan
