The Times I Smiled in the Land of a Thousand Smiles
Mabuhay Everyone! Welcome to my blog
Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Vanessa Morada, currently a 3rd year education student majoring in English at DLSU-D, Philippines!
My Thai students call me Teacher Vanessa (Vanessa as in Butterfly!) or Teacher Wannisa (They even gave me a Thai name!), hilariously sometimes Teaaaaaacher Banana!

I never liked my smile; it made lines on my face that made me feel unattractive. However, my journey as a pre-service student teacher in Udon Thani, Thailand for one month changed this entire perspective. Behind the wide smile that you will stumble upon my blog is the magical and fulfilling connection I had with the locals, teachers, and especially with my students that transcended language barriers.
This is my journey of the times I smiled in the Land of a Thousand Smiles...
From Kumusta ka to Sawadee ka!
What do you get when you combine manifestations and actions? A remarkable opportunity like mine! This blog is a testament of how my road of taking actions towards my manifestations led me to this meaningful opportunity of being a pre-service teacher student teacher in Udon Thani, Thailand!
