Patricia Sullivan
Are you drawn to the idea of living in another country, maybe for one or two years? Do you sometimes wonder how you might use your skills in a new setting? If so, maybe this is the time to seriously consider the idea of working abroad. No matter what your work experience has been, international jobs are enriching and stimulating, and they can lead to new opportunities that you may not have considered. This has certainly been the case with me.
I am a teacher, teacher trainer, and author with a doctorate degree from the University of California, Berkeley. I began university teaching in 1980 but was able to combine this work with international jobs in Europe, Asia, and Central America. My most recent job was with the US State Department, where, based in Kyiv, Ukraine, I was a teacher trainer, conference speaker, workshop leader, and materials developer for university teachers in Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. My work abroad hasn’t made me an expert in any one country, but it has provided me with personal views of those lands and their people. When I listen to an international news story from one of the many places where I have worked, such as Ukraine, I picture the people that I knew there as I reflect on their lives. Much of my published writing has been academic and work-related, but my memoir is Overland Before the Hippie Trail. Kathmandu and Beyond with a Van a Man and No Plan. It takes you on a two-year journey between 1965 and 1967 when my husband and I lived in our VW van while traveling across Asia from Europe to Japan.
