I hold the position of Visa Process Expert at Adventure Teaching.
My career path has been nothing short of unconventional. I've spent a great deal of my career path coordinating non profit career development programs, creating and managing small business endeavors and even working as a fisherman in Bristol Bay Alaska. My career path has been a true adventure!
I taught abroad for over two and half years in Gwangju, South Korea. I was inspired and brave enough to expose myself to the Adventure of a lifetime! I have a strong heart for traveling and living abroad in an adventurous fashion with unknown factors. An old friend of mine connected me to AT and that was the beginning of a life changing experience!
My one piece of advice I wish I would have been told before going abroad is to listen and embrace more. It's hard to do either of these too much! It's critical to listen, embrace and enjoy a new experience and culture abroad.
The most exciting part about working for Adventure Teaching is that you can actually be a catalyst for teachers experiencing a whole new adventure while being at the forefront of life change in the lives of others!
I think the most underrated teaching abroad location worldwide would probably be Hungary. I would argue that Budapest is one of the most beautiful cities and riverfront in all of Europe.
Conversely, the most overrated teaching abroad destination I think would be probably somewhere in the U.A.E. There is a lot of opportunity and beautiful architecture but boy is it hot there!!
