"I am not moving to Iraq to teach."
How does a liberal American girl in red suede boots end up teaching English to conservative Muslim Iraqis in headscarves?
Gretchen Berg has met the recession: she has eaten cereal for dinner, given up the gym membership, and come face to face with looming unemployment. To cope, she decided to uproot her life and move to the Middle East. She expected to make some good money, pay off some bad debt, and take some photos of camels. She did not expect to feel at home. She did not expect to fall for a student. She did not expect Diet Coke withdrawal.
Irreverent, hilarious, and completely relevant, I Have Iraq in My Shoe takes a single, broke, fashion-conscious American female who prefers Project Runway to CNN and tosses her into Iraq in exchange for cash and vacation time.
Watch the desert sand fly!
with Gretchen Berg “ I love laughing, and love reading anything that makes me laugh. I think any genre can incorporate humor, and I try to bring that to whatever I'm working on. ”
