A Guide From One Teacher to Another

Moving abroad to teach English is exciting—but it can also be a bit scary. When I first began my journey to become a teacher in South Korea, I had more questions than answers. Over the years, I learned not only how to survive but how to thrive—both in and out of the classroom.

Teach, Travel, Thrive became my personal motto—a way to embrace new experiences, grow as an individual, and make meaningful connections along the way. It was how I learned to say yes to adventure, yes to self-growth, and yes to the unexpected joys of life abroad.

Now, it’s become a heartfelt guide designed to help others begin their journey with more clarity and confidence. Whether you're curious about Korean culture, unsure about making the leap, or simply wondering if teaching abroad is right for you—this guide is for you.

Inside, you’ll find practical tips, honest reflections, and the kind of advice I wish someone had given me when I first set out on my teaching journey.

I hope this guide inspires you to take that first step.

You’re not just going to teach—you’re going to thrive.
