It is worth it!

I am so glad I decided to invest in participating in the XploreAsia program. I know a lot of people online give advice to just show up to the country and figure it out but I cannot stress enough how important and valuable it is to have a support system on the ground when moving to a new country (even if, like me, you have extensively lived abroad before). I actually ended up losing my initial placement (at no fault of my own or XploreAsia) after arriving in Vietnam and they immediately sprang into action to help me with a Plan A, B, and C. They were able to secure another interview for me within a week. The practical support is great, but also even just the emotional support during a stressful moment. I am more than half way through my teaching program and I love HCMC and I love the kids I teach. If I could do it all again, I would definitely opt for XploreAsia. The team is kind, supportive, and there for you whenever you might need.
