She has traveled to Europe, Asia and Australia as a volunteer. She has published a book called <better than a tourist: 50 tips for local travel> while she’s in Japan. And now she is now going to publish a book about Romania. Exploring new cultures, meeting new people, and being exposed to this beautiful world. All of these are giving Paula a new perspective on life.

Paula worked as an English teacher in Indonesia and participated in an education program in the Czech republic. That program involved children of all ages, what they do is mainly cultural communication and English learning. Paula believes creativity is key when dealing with children. Children are born with curiosity and the ability to come up with new ideas. Paula would love to discover what inspire them to study, and she would blend it into their English learning. For her, having activities is the best way to learn. Language learning should first to be fun, not just another subject needed to be studied.

Paula said: "Children represent the future of the world, and for me, contributing to education is one of the most rewarding thing I can participate in. I’m always eager to learn something new and improve myself because of my curiosity. So I'm excited to learn about Chinese culture because this is my first visit to this country."
