Years Go By

It's been almost a year since I've posted!  I'm pretty busy teaching English and organizing events for students and locals. I love my job and my students. While living in the Middle East certainly comes with a unique set of challenges, its a wonderful chapter in my life.

In addition to working and teaching and organizing and planning things, I've also gotten to do some fun traveling! For purposes of visa runs (to renew/get new visas to live and work in my country) and R&R, I've gotten to do some fun things in the past year! Here are some highlights:

Shenanigans on a working vacation in Kurdistan.

Snow in the desert! Christmas trip to Jordan.

Christmas 2013 with friends in Jordan.

New Years trip to Zurich, Switzerland.

Zurich. January 2014.

Vacation in the UAE. April 2014. This is the Burj al Arab in Dubai.

The view from the top of the Burj Khalifa - the world's tallest building. Dubai.

Dad met me in the Emirates. He's riding a camel! Abu Dhabi.
(We also visited Ferrari World and toured Yas Marina Circuit while we were in Abu Dhabi!)

Roman ruins in Amman. April 2014.

View from the top of Mount Nebo. Jordan. June 2014.

Floating in the Dead Sea. June 2014.

At the Parthenon. Athens, Greece. June 2014.

Family time! Back in America for July, 2014.

Visited friends in SF! July 2014.

Relaxing week in Gulf Shores, AL with the family. July 2014.

Now I'm back in the Middle East! This was a sampling of a hot week in August 2014. 

Hopefully I'll post again soon! My contract for this job ends June 2015. Stay tuned for the next adventures in my crazy, adventurous, passionate, fun life!

Maybe one day I'll figure out how to link this page to social media... for now, you can follow me on Instagram @rebekah413 and Twitter @rebekahmeahl ... I post nearly every day!
