My TravelBuds better then yours.

I'm now more then a year and a half in to this "teaching stint" and loving it. I was concerned when i began about my not so great recollections of .... well everything from verbs to parallelisms.... I was nervous and thought I would find myself unprepared. This was not the case. The great blokes at TravelBud have TO THIS DAY kept contact, always quick to reply and with a vested interest in your well being. It really is just fantastic to know that your family, as much as they care and as busy in there own lives as they are, don't have to be there 24/7 because travel bud always is. I have been fortunate enough to travel much of this world and doing a myriad of jobs to keep myself going, from the second i made contact with travelbud, it was just like all the stress and strain was off my shoulders and i simply floated downstream to a comfy well paid job in paradise, sheer bliss. Credit must of course get spread around to the partner companies TravelBud is associated with but all in all, to any who read this, signing up with these guys is a good idea, because they don't half arse it and really put themselves right in your shoes with you. A company you can trust in a market riddled with many you cant. Thanks guys

Teaching Kindergarten in Thailand

I had a couple of friends teach English in Thailand and try all had amazing experiences. When I decided to do it myself after having studied. I went through Travelbud. I thought they were great as they have experienced teaching in Thailand themselves and I felt that their opinions where honest. Thy were also very efficient with answering any questions I had. Doing the actual course in Thailand was definitely a great option. I met lots of people which has created a great support system. I very happy with my placement at a private Christian school. I stay on the outskirts of Bangkok which is great because it is easy to get into central Bangkok on weekends, but you are not stuck in the middle of the city. Accommodation is great and there are western food options nearby which is nice if you miss home food. I love teaching kindergarten. It can be very tiring, but everyday I experience something special. The children are really loving and enthusiastic.

Ever since I started reading travel literature and hearing of my friends' experiences living abroad, I wanted to do it myself. It took years to establish a degree of financial stability and self-confidence, but circumstances coalesced in a way that created a window of opportunity for me to go abroad. I felt that I may never have the opportunity again, so I made the decision to just go for it. I had gotten to a point in my life where I achieved a state of financial security and overall stability, but it just felt stagnant. I had a yearning for adventure, and so I decided to follow my gut, resign from my job and pursue traveling abroad.

After graduation, I really thought it was a now-or-never time to make a decision to move abroad and explore different opportunities while I had no commitments back home. I really wanted to experience living in a culture that is different from mine, get some valuable work experience, and see the world.

My inspiration to go abroad came from a multitude of factors. My primary drive for this experience, though, comes from my never-ending wanderlust that has pervaded my life since I was turned loose on the streets of New Orleans at the age of 14 by my parents during a business trip. The freedom of wandering the street, in a new place and the feeling of pure discovery is something which I live for. I have a strong love for cultural differences; it is something that has fascinated me at every turn of life. I believe an understanding of these differences is the best way to develop oneself and because of this I felt like going abroad and living in another culture was the best way to go about pursuing this passion. Through changing the lives of children, to exploring something completely foreign and unknown to myself, I feel like I can grow as a person.
