On the time, exploring the usage of life teaching companies was not on my agenda, however I saved her enterprise card.
Once I arrived in Trinidad there have been many modifications to my life-style: a special social setting; dedication to a brand new private relationship; working in a contrasting, albeit favorable, financial area; challenges of work-life stability; and consulting professionally in a digital setting.
