About Me

Hello! I'm Hannah and I am the writer behind The Middle(tons) of Nowhere. I am a thirty-something teacher with a knack for adventure. Luckily, my little family is just as adventurous as I am.

I began blogging way back in 2010 when I decided to accept a summer job in Bristol Bay - a remote region in SW Alaska.  I accepted the job off of CraigsList, much to my family's concern, and took off for an incredible summer of working in the commercial fishing industry.  You can read about that journey on my original blog, Naknek Grime: A Summer in Bristol Bay Alaska.

Since then, my little family and I have been traveling all over. We spent two years living in Juneau, Alaska and then two years on a remote island in Michigan known as Beaver Island. Following that, I accepted a job with Lake and Peninsula School District, an extremely rural bush district in SW Alaska, and I've been working for them ever since.

Cody and I spent a few years teaching out in the village prior to the birth of our daughter and then moved into the Matsu Valley after Annika's birth to be closer to medical care. I am still working for LPSD in a district administration role, so I do get to go out to our villages and work closely with the teaching staff and students. I miss the classroom so much though and hope to get back to it sooner rather than later. Bush teaching is definitely my calling!

As for the future, who knows where we will end up. After all, we are the Middletons of Nowhere and the adventures never stop!
