Chris’s blog:

Where to start…?  Mo and I have decided to give the children a unique opportunity and move back to Europe.  It has been ten years since we left Switzerland.  The experience of living, and teaching abroad, had a tremendous impact on us.  At the time, both Greg and Bri were quite young; and their memories of our experiences are limited.  We really want to give them new travel experiences that will stay with them for a life time.

That brings us to recent events.  Mo and I attended an international teaching job fair in Boston back in January.  Even though the process of meeting and interviewing with different schools was intense, the experience ended up being quite positive.  We met some fascinating people, and were lucky enough to have a couple of options for next year.  In the end, we were able to find a good fit for all of us in Paris, France.

We are currently in a mad scramble to tie up all of our loose ends.  The ‘to-do’ list that we have created doesn’t seem to be getting any smaller and we are only two months from take off.  So needless to say, the stress level in the Wayling household fluctuates from moment to moment.  Having been through this process once before, we know that this a necessary part of getting our ‘butts’ to Europe.

We are so excited to be able to experience another adventure together, as a family.  We plan to keep this blog rolling in one form or another, so that our family and friends will be updated on our whereabouts if they choose to be.   Soon we will start including some pictures.
