Hello, World!
I’m Michelle.

I’m a twenty something music teacher with a huge love for travel, so I decided to do my music teaching thing outside of the United States. I am now in Qatar living the dream and surviving the desert heat. I love coffee, books, outdoor adventures, and dogs. I live in Doha with my beautiful dog Bexley.
