Teaching English Abroad
My name is Melissa, and I love teaching English abroad. Why? For me, teaching is a natural extension of a love of learning, and teaching English abroad allows me to really see the world—not just on holidays or in retirement.
Maybe you’re a teacher yourself, but your summers never seem long enough and your budgets never stretch far enough. Or perhaps you’re thinking about becoming a teacher, but you’re not sure if it’s really for you. Maybe you have no idea what to do, and you’re looking to spend a year or two learning about yourself. All of these are great reasons to try teaching English abroad.
This blog will cover topics from the three most important categories for teaching English abroad: teaching, traveling, and budgeting.
TEACHING
The first category is about what I do. You can expect to see personal teaching experiences and lesson planning ideas here.
TRAVELING
The second category is why I do it. You can expect to see travel tips and stories here.
BUDGETING
The third category is how I do it. You can expect to see money saving strategies here.
Before moving to Spain to teach English with the auxiliares de conversacion program in 2015, I felt a little lost. Although I had read a lot of blogs about teaching, about traveling, and about personal finance, none of them were specifically geared towards ESL teachers living abroad. Teach Travel Budget will synthesize these very necessary categories to help build a wealth of resources for current and future teachers abroad.
