So You Want to Teach Abroad? Same, Sis. Here's What I Wish I Knew.

Let me set the scene: It's 4 AM. I'm sitting in my on-campus housing in Indianola, Iowa on a Skype call with a school I'd never heard of, in a country I'd barely thought about, sweating bullets and hoping I don't say anything embarrassing.

Three days later, I had a job offer to teach in Kuwait.

No playbook. No mentor. No clue.

That was over ten years ago. And to this DAY, it is the best decision I've ever made in my life.

Since then, I've built a whole life — and a whole brand (hey, Teach Travel Thrive!), around helping teachers just like you skip the confusion and get to the good part faster. Because you deserve to know what's possible before fear talks you out of it.

Here's the truth nobody tells you: teaching abroad isn't just for people who have it all figured out. It's for curious, brave, ready-to-shake-things-up teachers who are tired of the same four walls and want more. It's lowkey for the greedy teachers who want more money, more adventure, more life. You don't need a perfect plan. You just need to ask yourself one honest question:

Am I ready?

That's exactly what my ebook + workbook "Am I Ready to Teach Abroad? " is built to help you figure out. It walks you through the start, most importantly your mindset, and the basics of going abroad, so you can make a decision with confidence instead of anxiety, because, to be honest, teaching abroad is not for everybody!
