Why I Ditched My Government Job to TEFL in China! Kate’s Story…

TEFLer Kate Fennell used to work with the government for thirty years before she threw in the towel and decided to move to China and teach English overseas – quite a career change hey?

Here’s Kate:

When we contacted Kate to see if we could make a time line of her blogs and pictures to use in an article, she responded with such a great email that we had to share it with you all! It made my day!

“Well from one Katie to another it is nice to meet you too!!

I am more than happy for you to do a time line article on my wonderful adventure especially if it will inspire others to get our of the “rut AKA comfort zone” and truly get on with life!! As I reflect upon the last 18 months or so it is hard to believe where I’ve come from and where I’ve reached.

I have learned that making a “living” is not the same as “making a life”.

I hope to continue on this journey for many years to come and who knows where I might end up……your time line may end up in chapters!!!

Cheers
Katie.”

How lovely is that to read? Such a fantastic story to read and it’s even better because it’s REAL LIFE! It’s so annoying when you read through a magazine and they have ‘case studies’ who are clearly fictional. Kate is definitely real and we just can’t get enough of her stories and fantastic photos…

So…let’s not dilly dally…why not read through Kate’s time line for yourself here:
