TravelGrad set me up for life

Isn't it funny how one decision can wholly alter one's life? At the end of my university life, I had already secured an internship in my chosen profession. However, working there felt like a chore, and I wondered if I had made the right choice with my chosen degree.

I decided to take a gap year to figure it all out, and I had heard of TravelGrad through a friend. So, without hesitation, I decided to go to China just for a year to teach English, have some exciting experiences, and, in the end, return to 'real life.'

Well, I couldn't have predicted at the time how life-changing that decision was to be. I had discovered a career which was wholly more fulfilling than the 9-5 I had left behind in Britain. I had fallen in love, not only with the teaching but also with a fellow English teacher.

We are now married with children, and it has been seven years since I have lived in Britain. My 'just a gap year' turned into an exciting life. I have been all over the world, opened my own school, and branched out into marketing.

The TravelGrad journey continues for me, and I will always be grateful to them for making it an easy first step into the great beyond.

Where do I go from here? Only time will tell.
