About Me

Alreet! I was always going to do some form of travelling when I had finished Uni but it was only about 4 months ago that I'd even thought about teaching. Now I'm sat in an internet cafe in Shanghai after deciding to go to China with i-to-i in partnership with Teach Travel China. This is the official blog for the TTC China trip and hopefully will give you some idea of what it's like! Hmm that wasn't really about me per se so...I'm 22, just finished a Classics degree at Leeds University and love skiing, snowboarding and martial arts. I'm also from the greatest place in the world aka Yorkshire :)

Inner Mongolia days two and three

Originally posted November 2nd, 2009   On the second day we dragged ourselves up and on to the coach for the 3-4 hours it would take to get to the dessert. Luckily we had pen and paper so played pictionary to pass the time, we’re sad I know… Eventually we arrived at the dessert and after a 20 minute walk down a hill we all got our lunch and were given the plan for the...

TTC Trip to Inner Mongolia day 1

Orginally posted October 20th, 2009   The Chinese always have time off for mid autumn festival but this year China also celebrated it's 60th anniversary of becoming the 'Peoples Republic of China'. To the Chinese it signified a big celebration of the last 60 years and yet for myself and the other teachers it gave us a few extra days holiday! TTC organised an optional trip to Inner Mongolia. I saw it as a chance...

Hi. I've been thinking about teaching in china myself? How do you find it? Would you recommend it?

KimHumes

Hi Craig - I just joined this site because I'm looking into going overseas to teach (I'm from eastern Canada) and am very interested in the China internship. So, I'm going to follow your blog to see if I can get some insights into what it would be like for me
