My TravelBuds better then yours.

August 14, 2015by: Ryan Thompson - Chiang Mai

Program: Paid Teaching Program in Thailand with TravelBud

9

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

Program: Paid Teaching Program in Thailand with TravelBud

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.

What inspired you to travel abroad?

Ever since I started working with TravelBud as an applicant myself, I felt a connection with the culture and values of TravelBud. When the opportunity to work at TravelBud came up after my own experience abroad in Korea, I knew I had to go for it!

What inspired you to travel abroad?

I had spent quite some time abroad and worked in the commercial field beforehand. I decided the best way I could give back was to help young people live a similar experience in their own unique way.
