Ruth P.

Participant
Teach in Thailand Program Thailand School: University of Washington Hometown: Seattle, WA

My name is Ruth Pilat and I am from the beautiful Seattle, Washington. I graduated from the University of Washington with a bachelor's in Psychology. Since graduating in 2019, I have worked as an academic mentor, tutor, and a nanny. 

I decided to teach abroad because I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone and into the unknown.

My goal as a blogger is to inspire others through my unique expereinces as a teacher and as a traveler. 

So, pack your bags and come along with me on my adventures!
