It Changed My Life

I can't imagine where I'd be if I hadn't have taken the opportunity to travel to China with TTC and ImmerQi.

It's completely changed my life - for the better! I've made a new life for myself in Beijing, I have great friends and a great job, all thanks to the Teach and Travel China Program.

I completed my semester in a Kindergarten not far from Beijing. It was quite an isolated town, between two major cities, and I was one of two foreigners in the area. Because of this, I was a local celebrity! My Mandarin language skills improved rapidly and I had so much fun being engulfed by the Chinese culture. I had very few issues with my placement and whenever I contacted my advisor with a problem, they were very supportive and offered great advice.

A year after leaving my teaching placement, I'm living in Beijing with my partner. I still regularly visit my placement town to meet up with old friends and visit my students. I plan to stay in China for at least a few more years, it's got so much to offer and I've made friends for life from all over the world through Teach and Travel China.

I owe everything I have right now to ImmerQi. They offered me a way out of a potentially dead-end situation in the UK. The program has given the confidence and personal skills to be able to tackle anything life throws at me.
