Lisa Kirkup

Back in 2009 I enrolled on to a TESOL course with INTESOL Worldwide. After being accepted, I moved to London to complete the course and to pursue my plan of living and working in Hong Kong. It was my first day of the course at Schiller International University that I met Lisa, who had taken a break from the US Military to complete the TESOL course in London! She came all the way from Minnesota in the USA and we instantly became friends. We studied together and did some sightseeing in London and it was great to meet Lisa and we quickly became close friends over the time it took to complete the course! Since completion, I did indeed move to Hong Kong (I’m still here!) and Lisa went off flying helicopters for the US Military. Ever since we met 6 years ago we have stayed in touch and I was delighted last year when Lisa asked me to be her bridesmaid in California where she had moved with her now-husband, Chris! Of course I happily accepted! We had a wonderful time catching up and it was amazing to see Lisa get married in California… and all from our meeting through INTESOL Worldwide!
