About Me

Hey all
 
My name is Amy, and Im a graduate of English and History from NUI Maynooth in Ireland. I am currently living in Rattana Buri, Surin Province, Thailand, and I am a full time ESL teacher in a high school with the TTT Internship.
I love travelling, reading anything you throw at me, learning new languages and my ideal job is teaching English on a beach somewhere nice and hot lol.
If anyone has any cool infro regarding working in Korea (planned next stop) or Japan (a must see for me) just drop me a line. 
Also, anyone interested in the May 2013 TTT Internship, or about teaching Thailand in general, can ask any questions they want.
Sawatdiikha.
Amy.

Utterly Broke, but Utterly Excited!

Well, the money is paid, the vaccines are started, prices have been researched for flights, and I now feel utterly broke, but utterly thrilled all at the same time! Thailand in October, its hard to get my head around. But the mere thought of all the things I am going to experience, and all the places I am going to see is enough to cause butterflies and the head to spin (although maybe thats just...

Hi Amy,


I have just come across a blog of yours from last year (seems like you easily 'come across' old blogs on here!) about wanting to go to Japan and being scared of the idea because you're a fussy eater, and I had remembered that you're now in Thailand (I think I've read some other blogs of yours before!) and smiled to myself. I can imagine that people might have a passion to go one place, but end up going to another country instead! I just wondered how you ended up deciding on Thailand instead? I reaaally want to go to Thailand but Japan does seem so cool as well, especially Tokyo! (Ok, I know nothing about any other city in Japan) but I'm also quite fussy with food....well, if you call having a 'phobia' of fish/seafood fussy, and I can be funny with some meat, if I didn't know what it was/if it tasted different to what I'm used to, so I have too been a little worried about this, but I figured I could become a vegetarian over there if I wanted to lol.


Anyways, I just wanted to know how you've coped with the life change etc, and how you're getting on?


I REAALLY wanna do the Internship but I'm skint :'( I had a plan to go Thailand in like Jan/Feb when the weather's at it's best but that idea's looking slim now since I've still not found a job :( and I still don't have enough in my savings. FML.


 


Sorry this is so long :P I do digress a lot!

Hi Amy!


You have signed up for the Thailand Internship for October too? Are you excited?? :)


How far through the application process are you? Did you put a preference of location for when you're out there?


Would love to hear from you! x
