About Me

Hello from Monduli, Tanzania!  

My name is Katy, and I am a serial expat, missionary, and traveler. 

To catch up you up on the story to this point, I was born and raised in Tennessee.  Tennessee is a beautiful state and I enjoy coming home, but I've always known I wouldn't stay there forever.  While I was in college, I realized that trying to control and plan my own life brought on nothing but stress.  So, I gave the plot line to God, and He's led me places I never would have imagined.

After college, I moved to Italy for three years, living and teaching English for a few months in Scandicci, a suburb of Florence, and then most of the time in Milan, where I worked running the Sunday school and youth group for the Via del Bollo church of Christ.  Nothing was going on in the states once I finished my job there, so I, rather on a whim, decided to move to China.  I lived in Jingzhou, in Hubei province, for most of 2010.  I taught English at Yangtze University, and met some amazing people. I returned to the states for a while after leaving Jingzhou, but my heart was still in China, so I made my way back there and spent three more years teaching at Huazhong Agricultural University in Wuhan from 2012-2015.  

The past three years I've lived in Nashville, Tennessee; it's been good to be here for Thanksgiving and Christmas and birthdays and all with my family, but it's time to move on again.  My coworkers from my time in Milan have now been in Tanzania for four years, and I'm moving to join them there.  

So.  Here I am; starting a new adventure on a new continent.  Feel free to follow along and just comment if you have any questions!
