Hi,
My name is Anthony, I'm from Runcorn which is a town just outside of Liverpool - i work in a call centre making a mediocre wage and my feet are itching to do something new.
I have spent the majority of the last 3 years working in a hostel in Athens, Greece.. Originally just a weekend in Athens - this turned out to be the greatest job ever! Starting off with small jobs like painting and cleaning i ended up running the bar with bar crawls and such every night. I came back home for my sisters 21st, got talked into staying until after christmas... and lo and behold here i am over a year later still in Runcorn - wit possibly a dead end job just wanting a bit more from life.
Don't get me wrong - i love the job i'm doing now but i need to be out there, meeting people from all over the world like i was in Athens. I want to dive into new cultures. I want to see how other people live. Thats what i love about life, that everyone is different... Here, I'm just normal. But its not normal to be normal - its when im out in the world that i become somebody. Ok power speech over... but yea, this is what i want to acheive from TEFL - i'm just saving up the last of my pennies then im booking the course.
Indonesia looks a dead cert for me, although i'm entertaining the idea of working back in Athens as well.

'The Dark Side' that not many people would actually live their life doing, but they let loose for one night.. although it'll probably be a whole weekend this year. It's also a Good time of the year for creativity... Costumes, parties, tricks and treats - if you're creative - you can have an amazing night. Thats what i like. Being creative. And i think this is where i'll thrive when i come to do TEFL. making lessons interesting like they never back when i ws in school but theres plenty of time for this..This my friends is only the beginning.. Happy Halloween :)
