Resourcefulness Leads to Connection: Joanna's Stories from Trinidad to China - Episode 30 Round Trip Stories

    • Places & Travel

Our guest today is Joanna Meade, an international baccalaureate Technology and Math teacher originally from Trinidad. After attending university and teaching in the U.S., Joanna's itching for change took her abroad to teach in Japan, and China. She especially wanted to immerse herself in the local Chinese culture and language when she moved to Wuhan. She hit the ground running, but realized she did not have google maps to guide her. But no worries, Joanna’s tech savviness and willingness to ask for help allowed her to navigate so much more than a city map.
