~ ¨ ̓Andy Korterling
Season | Episode
Andy Korterling, on paper at least, had everything he needed for a comfortable suburban life in England but then Cambodia – and TEFL – came calling.
Season 4 | Episode 11
Goodbye boredom, hello Cambodia
The idea of the career changer is something we talk about a lot at The TEFL Org. We like to imagine that teaching English can be a get-out from the tiresome commute, the job that remains unfulfilling, the same old.
For Andy Korterling, of Can Travel Will Travel and the Pigs on Bikes YouTube channel, that’s exactly what TEFL became. And while it wasn’t the easiest transition from engineer in England to teacher in Cambodia, it worked out extremely well.
About Andy Korterling
Having trained in civil engineering, Andy Korterling had a well-established career in the field, but felt no passion for it. A master’s degree in Environmental Science lifted the cloud for a little while but didn’t quite give him what he needed.
It was a snap decision with his wife that gave him the career and lifestyle he wanted. They moved to Cambodia and started teaching English, offline at first, and then with some important clients online. Andy and his wife, Tanya, run popular travel blog Can Travel Will Travel.
