Where are you hoping to teach?
 
I would love to travel to East Asia and teach English to students in countries such as Japan, Vietnam, Cambodia, China or Thailand. I have recently just come home from Tanzania in Africa. I helped fundraise £10,000 for various charities. I also made a documentary film of the whole experience – the best thing I have done thus far in my life!
 
What do you love about life?
 
The best thing for me is waking up in the morning and not knowing what the day may bring? I often wonder to myself “ Something great might happen today?”
 
Why did you decide to do a TEFL course?
 
I loved the English language. I loved learning English while at school and always love to read books. I was always good at writing and love words, whether it be song lyrics, poetry or a novel. I met a guy who is now a good friend and he completed the TEFL course years ago and worked abroad teaching English and he recommended the course to me as I made my feelings know to him I was unhappy with my current career. So, I took his advice and well..here I am!
