TEACH ABROAD :)

I decided to teach abroad with Greenheart Travel after seeing a high school friend doing it. At the time of applying, I was living outside of Washington, DC and teaching 4th grade. I loved my teaching job, but knew I wanted to teach abroad at some time during my life. While I said I wanted to do this, I had NO idea where to start, until I found Greenheart. My initial talks with Sara were so natural and I felt I had found a personable organization that would help me figure out the best steps for me to talk. Sara, and the rest of the Greenheart Travel team, made the transition seamless. Once arriving in Thailand, I was handed into the care of a company called Xplore Asia. Xplore Asia provided me with my TESOL training courses in Thailand, and helping me land a teaching job in southern Thailand. I graduated with a BS in elementary and special education, and spent time teaching in an ESL classroom in the United States. Because of this, I did not need the TESOL course, and looking back on everything, I wish I decided not to do it. The information was extremely useful for people without backgrounds in education but it was not what I needed. The entire process of Xplore Asia finding you a job was so easy though. They did EVERYTHING for us which lifted a weight off of our shoulders. I am extremely happy I made the decision to come abroad with Greenheart Travel. I have fallen in love with Thailand and have NO plans to leave anytime soon!
