I’ve been interested in languages since my schooldays, and studied French and German at Glasgow University where I gained an MA degree. I then moved south to Bath and for many years I worked for the local Tourist Board in a variety of different roles, promoting the city to visitors from the UK and overseas, […]
In early 2020, 45-year-old Ed decided it was time for a change. At the start of the year he was stressed out working for a large multi-national corporate organisation, but by the end of it he was in sunny Spain teaching English at a language academy in Granada! The coronavirus pandemic has been very disruptive […]
Two years ago, after graduating with a degree in English and Journalism, I set off to Australia on a working holiday to escape the Scottish weather and hopefully kill my travel bug. I soon found myself working day and night in a German pub serving beer and sausages, which if I’m honest, was not ideal. […]
I’ve always loved travelling and learning about cultures different than my own. As a teenager growing up in the UK, I visited mainland Europe often but was always curious about Asia. Throughout university, I immersed myself in learning European languages, and even studied abroad in Italy, but I couldn’t shake off the feeling that I […]
If Doc and Marty McFly had jumped in the Delorean in 2020 and set 2016 as their destination, with the aim of informing me that I would end up leaving my job in the UK, travelling full-time for the next 4 years all while building a sustainable income through YouTube and other income streams, including […]

I’d already left university and all the years of my life seemed to stretch ahead of me endlessly. My life goals had never been around getting married or having kids, and with people seeming to settle […]
On the whim of a New Year’s eve quarter-life crisis, I found myself signing up to TEFL Org’s 120-hour online course without much forward thought (in all honesty, the sale really grabbed me). Having relentlessly pursued a (failing) career in the media industry since leaving university, I was craving a change to push my confidence, […]
My first experience teaching English as a foreign language was when I was 18, back in 1983. I was on a gap year before university, and I got the opportunity to spend six months in Israel. I spent two months on a kibbutz in the north, near Tiberius close to The Sea of Gallilee, and […]
XinChao (HELLO) TEFL Org! My story of travelling and teaching in Vietnam is one that might leave you thinking I work for the Vietnamese Department of Travel and Tourism! A country full of untouched, deep green scenery, classic nostalgic culture and inexpensive, healthy and fresh food. Vietnam truly is a wonder to live and work […]
I have spent 10 years working in holiday parks in France and England, working within entertainment and kids clubs. This has given me lots experience working with children, but I was after a change and teaching has always interested me. To start my teaching career I decided to study with TEFL.org and complete my 120 hour […]
