Andrew Dunkle - GO! OverseasAlong with Mitch, I am a co-founder of GO! Overseas and am largely responsible for the content management of the site. On any given day you may find me taking long walks on the beach, getting caught in the rain, and drinking margaritas. I am currently residing in San Francisco, but this probably won't last long. I have a nagging itch and my passport needs a new stamp.

Teaching ESL in Taiwan - What You Need To Know

Teaching in Taiwan

Taiwan has become a very popular destination for ESL teachers. For those considering the move there are obviously many things to consider, but one thing that can be easily overlooked is whether you will actually enjoy living here! After two years teaching English in Taiwan and observing teachers who have enjoyed it and those who haven't, my advice is to make sure you really enjoy being around kids. Teaching can be both rewarding and frustrating, but if you enjoy being around kids teaching in Taiwan will be a very rewarding experience.
