John R. Bopp
Born and raised in Northern Nevada, USA, I'm a graduate of the University of Nevada, Reno. After a USAC stay in Bilbao, I fell in love with the Basque Country and moved here after graduating. I've been an EFL teacher since my arrival, traveling throughout Biscay preparing students for exams and businesses for working abroad. I started volunteering with the blog at the beginning of 2016 and have been actively coordinating in everything in English since!
