Hi, I'm Dani! After 15+ years of teaching English in the US, Poland, China, Mexico, and now Quebec, I've learned that one of my greatest passions is connecting with people from around the world. As someone who's always loved traveling and exploring new places, there's nothing I enjoy more than helping others discover what makes Québec City so special.
