The World is Full of Opportunities... Especially if you're living my life!

Does that sound arrogant? I certainly didn't mean to be, but I am teaching overseas and think everyone else who has teaching credentials should be doing the same. Even if that does mean increased competition for my next international teaching position!

It's Easter this weekend, and I've got the next 10 days off. Yep, that's right! No going into school for me until Tuesday 17th! I'm spending 5 days of my vacation learning traditional Thai massage at a school here in Bangkok. It's a fantastic experience that I probably wouldn't have if I wasn't living and teaching here in Bangkok.

I was talking to my colleague and massage classmate, Maggie while we were having lunch today and it occurred to me just how many opportunities have come my way because I'm an global nomad.

Since I've been teaching overseas I've had the opportunity to:

act in open university television programmes
act in a commercial
escort groups to ski resorts - and ski for free!
escort groups on excursions around the UK and see more of the country - and get paid!
travel to Paris for a weekend for a jolly
visit Cadbury World for 'professional development'

These were just the things I thought of while I was sitting having lunch with Maggie. When I think of the opportunities I've had and taken advantage of during my career teaching abroad, I am reminded what a good move it was for me to make.

Is a move you're thinking of making? Stop thinking and start doing!
