TEFL in Vietnam

The whole experience was so incredible, mind-opening and, in many ways, surreal, that it is hard to break it down to define specific highlights. The people I travelled with and lived with for the two weeks were so amazing and varied that it made each day a new adventure, and, as for actually being in Vietnam, the sights were gorgeous, the locals so kind and courteous, the food so flavoursome and unique, and the culture so fascinating that I didn't want to leave! Seeing sights like the Lady Buddha, Mỹ Sơn temple complex and the Marble Mountains made for incredible and eye-opening expeditions and having the picturesque beach basically on our doorstep meant many a happy hour was spent in the sea or in deck chairs after teaching. Finally, the teaching itself was such a rewarding and confidence-building experience. It allowed me to gain so many practical skills, such as communication, public speaking, independence and leadership, that I can utilise to help me to obtain further work/placements abroad and was overall a very positive experience.
