High rate of pay (for saving or travelling) 4. Real opportunities for professional growth and development. 5. A variety of landscapes and locations to choose from. (You gotta love big countries!) If any of these reasons call to you then you should definitely consider China as a viable option to teach English. Fund your travels, grow your resume, live in a beautiful rural community or in the heart of the city... the choices are endless!!

    • I couldn’t help but share these beautiful pictures of China. I believe it is Mongolia where they were taken. Besides the fact that they are beautiful 😍 I share them because they aren’t always the images you see of China. The diversity and beauty of China is immense! The great thing about China is that there is so much to see and experience. Each location is different! The plus side of having such a huge country! If you want more information about teaching English in China shoot me message! Or go to The Unconventional Life blog to read all the info on Teaching abroad! Or just enjoy the beautiful photos! Until you can’t take it anymore and decide to get out there already! 😂 Where would you like to go in China? . . . . . . . . #travelchina #iteachenglish #teachenglish #workabroad #teachoverseas #teachabroad #teachenglishabroad #teachinchina #expatteacher #workandtravel #workandtravelchina #travellifestyle #china🇨🇳
    • Found a Tim Hortons in Glasgow!! It was magic! I wee taste of home in the UK. For those of you who don’t know, Tim Hortons is the very Canadian coffee shop supplying cheap tasty coffee and treats to hockey moms and professionals on the go for 54 years! It was an amazing taste of home just when I needed it 🇨🇦❤️ Tim Hortons did not let me down! The smell of the coffee and the sweet rich taste of timbits brought me back to Canada. Btw if you do ever happen to come across a Tim Hortons my recommended order is a large French Vanilla with half coffee and an everything bagel with cream cheese! Of course you can always opt for the good old fashioned double double! What brings you a taste of home? . . . . . . #timhortons #timhortonsglasgow #tasteofhome #expatsabroad #expatsintheuk #canadianexpat #homeabroad #coffee_time #frenchvanilla #expatgirlforever #doubledouble #timbits #expatliving #expatwoman
    • So it’s been a while since I wrote on the blog. There have been so many changes since moving countries that I have been inspired! I’ve just recently moved from Korea to Scotland and while Scotland is not my home country 🇨🇦I’m still adjusting to a new life in a new country and it has been a tumultuous and crazy time! I’ve moved out of Korea 3 times now so I’m kind of a pro...👩‍🎓haha. Moving back to your home country after being abroad was a lot more difficult than I ever expected... especially the first time. But now that I know what to expect I’ve gotten better at finding ways to set realistic expectations and be prepared for the transition. I want to share my tips to help you with your adjustment if you’re moving “home” or to another country. Having realistic expectations and knowing a bit more about what to expect will definitely help! Have a look at the blog to help your be just a little more prepared! Link is in the bio!! 🛫 How do you help yourself adjust to living in another country? . . . . . . . . #reversecultureshock #tefltravels #expatinscotland #livingabroad #travellifehack #traveltips #traveladvice #expatliving #expatwoman #travellerlife #teachingabroad #beprepared #expatmove #internationaltravels #internationalmove #expatgirlforever #teachenglishabroad #teachenglish #lifeofateacher
    • It was so nice to get out for a date night to celebrate my husbands birthday! It feels like we’re getting back to a bit of normalcy since moving to Scotland. The transition to a new life and a new way of living when you move to another country can be a big adjustment! You need to adjust to a new culture and re-create your life. Everything is different and it can be difficult to get back into a routine and a normal life again. I’m not going to sugar coat it the culture shock is real!!! It’s been a great experience and one I was prepared for, but still with a lot of bumps along the way. While it’s fun to talk about the excitement of moving abroad and living the expat life it’s also important to talk about the difficulties of living abroad and moving around to different countries. While I’m so glad to be in Scotland there is so much to do and adjust to! I’ll be talking about this in more detail on my blog this week so stay tuned! Any questions just ask!! What have your experiences been with the transition moving to another country?? . . . . . . . . #expatexplore #expats #expatlife #expat #travellifestyle #travellifelove #travellife #liveabroad #liveabroadlife #internationalliving #cultureshock #reversecultureshock #scotland_lover #expatinscotland #lifeinscotland #tefltravels

    • Do you need a degree to teach English abroad?? Short answer....NO! To be an English language teacher a degree is not necessary!! Although your options may be more limited, there are countries that don’t require a degree and also internship opportunities. If you want to be an ESL teacher training is important especially if you don’t have a degree. So getting a TEFL certification or doing an internship program is your best bet to get your international teaching career started. To find out more about how you can get your teaching career started without a degree check out the blog! 😀Link in the bio😀 You’ll get; 🛫 Top 5 locations to teach abroad without a degree 🛫 Information on getting TEFL certified 🛫 How to register for internships and open up your teaching possibilities!!
