Jenna is in her late 20s. Three years ago, she made a choice between two places she might move to teach – Westcliffe, Colorado, and Shenzhen, China. How does a 20-something from Buffalo, NY end up in Westcliffe, a remote mountain town with a population of less than 600? And what’s her life like there? What’s it like to live in a town where everyone knows you as the third grade teacher, no matter where you go?

Check back soon for Jenna’s full story.
