About the author

Canadian reporter Breanne Massey resigned to a life of teaching ESL in Taiwan in 2013.

She started blogging about her experiences abroad after a toddler nearly became her hairdresser and a Taiwanese co-teacher walked into the squatter she was using during her first week on the job. Breanne is always eager to hear about travelling and teaching ESL from others.

She could probably even stand to learn a thing or two about teaching.

Before moving abroad, Breanne worked at WestJet, the Winnipeg Free Press, the Innisfail Province, the Westlock News, the Trail Daily Times, the Ladysmith Chemainus Chronicle and the Alberni Valley News. Her writing has appeared in the Calgary Sun, National Post, Saskatoon Express and the Kamloops Daily News. It has also been published in Mining and Exploration, Kootenay Business, Riders West and RV West magazines.

Breanne is a graduate of Thompson Rivers University’s journalism school and holds a diploma of visual arts.

She would like to run a marathon without training for it, learn several languages without studying them and to see the entire world when she is not busy trolling the internet.
