About Me

I'm 27. Live in Boston, Mass. Love my country. Teach Kindergarten and 1st grade. Love Photography, Eating (a vice) and dining out, swimming, reading, laughing, dancing. I am about to complete i-to-i as the summer comes to a close. I anticipate traveling abroad during the summer of 2011. I am currently placed for S.Korea, but have yet to complete the application process. I would like to know all there is about S.Korea, especially how to best safe gaurd my experience.
Any tips or advice, I'm very open!

What it all comes down to...what it will always come down to... is you

I'm sure I could use the help. I don't actually have a linear path mapped out. I am looking for many things and nothing at all in the teach abroad experience. Part of me thinks its essential to have and meet goals while traveling and part of me believes that to do so will generate expectations that'll go unfulfilled. I'm trying to stay rooted in reality and be as pragmatic as possible about the whole...

When I talk about Teaching Abroad

My fiance mocks the idea by repeating the names of various countries which I have not expressed interest in to friends and colleagues. My sister rolls her eyes and pretends to listen. Or other family members just become quiet, feign interest, wish me half-hearted luck. My father informs me of all the adversities I will face, including ridicule if I return robbed of a dream due to my delusions about it's greatness.

Cool! I'm sure I will find it helpful as I have never taught before!


I'm doing 140 hr. training...and I really like it so far! I'm very excited!


I really want to teach in SE Asia! Thailand, Phillipines, Indonesia are all possibilities! But really, I'm up for wherever the win blows me; I can't wait to travel and really integrate into different cultures :)

Hey! You're in Boston?! I live in NH right now, but I'll be moving back to MA(40 mins South of Boston) at the end of the month! Will you be @ the TEFL weekend classroom the Aug. 21-22?


P.S. I love the waves! I swear, everyone remembers what it is like to be a kid when they are in the ocean!

Sounds good! Have you checked out the South Korea group on the Chalkboard?

Try speaking to Lintse07, she has experience down there and you might find it helpful hearing about the placements in South Korea: http://www.onlinetefl.com/tefl-chalkboard/lintse07


If you have anymore questions, please feel free to ask

I am have not completed the job placement process yet but it appears SKorea is in the works. ! I have to get my new passport to arrive, and I am awaiting the physical Master's Degree in mail... My Bachelor's was thrown away by accident one chaotic summer, so I'm currently in Limbo. Any suggestions, good advice?

Hey there,


I see you are interested in teaching English as a foreign language, have you thought about where you would like to go?
