Alyson Nolte
¡Hola a todos! Soy Alyson.
A self-proclaimed travel junkie I have had the good fortune to live in 4 cities internationally (incuding 3 in Spain and 1 in Australia) and travel to 15 countries across 4 continents. Today, I teach high school Spanish in my home city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. When I'm not teaching or travelling, I enjoy hiking, cooking, reading, and spending time with loved ones.
Helping students to fall in love with foreign languages and cultures is one of my greatest passions, and I'm excited to share stories of our adventures with you!
