Experience

As an adult, she moved to Japan to become an English teacher, where she explored the neighborhoods of Tokyo between grammar lessons. Brie eventually pivoted to writing, contributing to Business Insider, Apartment Therapy, YourTango, and several other websites. She now serves as an editor at PlanetWare.
