I have lived in several countries and enjoyed myself though it was not easy saying bye to family and then relocating. Living among other cultures has been on my to-do list since childhood and I am glad I have done it. I would say go for it!Ms Lifehttp://makingmylifehappen.blog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851940520473763605.post-83312939711864373762012-05-13T14:18:43.431-04:002012-05-13T14:18:43.431-04:00It's a big decision to make.

Not only are you young, you have someone to do it with who will be there when things get tough.Rafikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02636919333859560825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851940520473763605.post-20036771782174064812012-04-28T01:58:14.063-04:002012-04-28T01:58:14.063-04:00I hear you.

I may stick with my charity for another year. It's frustrating not knowing what my future looks Iike in 3 years, a year, let along when September rolls around. If you're interested in working up in northern communities, there are jobs. D. could find something else too. <br /><br />If you do find a school overseas you are interested in and they make you an offer, I would ask to speak with one of the teachers that currently work there. What they think of the working conditions, the staff but see if you can speak with during the off-hours when they are not in their work environment. If the recruiter or employer refuses, then that seems rather suspicious. It also gives you an idea of how "open" they are. Even search for the name of your school on Facebook, LinkedIn or just in general on the Internet. If you find a current employee of the school you are thinking of, you could contact them that way too. <br /><br />I am only familiar with South Korea, since I taught for a year, and am not familiar with teaching in other countries. Good luck whatever you decide!Two Degreeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000704107274554322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851940520473763605.post-13341049837191669502012-04-27T18:28:50.647-04:002012-04-27T18:28:50.647-04:00Definitely do this while you are young, once the ...Definitely do this while you are young, once the littlies arrive you are kind of tied.....Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03260642250519868482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851940520473763605.post-77784610256620415382012-04-27T17:46:06.145-04:002012-04-27T17:46:06.145-04:00The Czech Republic is such a beautiful country...a...The Czech Republic is such a beautiful country...and although the flight to get there is pricey it's so cheap when you're actually there!
