Meet the Expats

Meet Dian: from nobel prize to kindergarden teacher in Thailand at 60

Meet Dian,

Dian was a senior scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, where she contributed to the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize–winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. 🌱

After her early retirement, she decided to live the adventure abroad with her husband as english teachers. Little did they know they would end up in Thailand teaching kindergarten children! 🐥

In this episode, she shares how she approached life abroad at 60, adjusted to an entirely new work environment, to say the least, and navigated her life back in the US a year later, publishing her memoir: Kindergarten at 60  📗

Her recommendations are:

  • Adam cafe for refreshing drinks and AC
  • Paii restaurant in Bangkok 

🎵 And her mediation song breathing in, breathing out
