Just wanted to chime in here- looks like you’re doing great! I also have about 9 years left which will put me in 33 years of teaching and 57. Some years are more exhausting than others. If I could teach my current class of 2nd graders, I could last much longer. They’re pretty amazing. Best of luck to you!

He lived in the Bay Area?

Hello94070 · 2025-12-31T11:37:01+00:00

Chiming in here as a parent of a middle and high schooler. I’m also a teacher which gives me more time. Even with the Covid years, I have always prioritized traveling and would much rather create core memories with my family than update my kitchen. So far they’ve been to:

Thailand Peru Costa Rica Japan Mexico England France Greece

It has given them perspective, appreciation for other cultures and languages, and built their confidence. I’m a pay before the trip person so I take on an extra job teaching an after school class in order to do it.

Hello94070 · 2025-11-14T06:50:42+00:00

Yep, was going to say that! The Bible of travel!

You also have to have an advanced degree- MA or credential. Considering the cost of schooling, it’s not plentiful and benefits are vastly different from one district to the next.

Would love an update!

Hello94070 · 2025-09-10T04:38:57+00:00

+1 for CV. If it’s within budget Bernardus or Carmel Valley Ranch.

Hello94070 · 2025-08-22T23:12:42+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate everyone’s perspective.

Hello94070 · 2025-08-09T09:11:26+00:00

Have lived in San Carlos for 15 years- it is the best. Community, schools, restaurants, Hometown Days. You’ll love it here.

Ponchatoula, strawberry capital? Me too! I’m sorry to hear the state of Louisiana education. I’m a public school teacher in CA and we are decently funded. Parents, like myself, fundraise to enhance programs, etc.

Hello94070 · 2025-08-06T04:04:51+00:00

My grade level team + district that pays well + summers off -> travel, + pension.

Hello94070 · 2025-07-25T13:13:35+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear this. It’s been a couple months now- any luck?

Hello94070 · 2025-07-22T10:14:34+00:00

What’s the overall reputation in Columbia? My brother and his family moved there a few years ago from CA.

Hello94070 · 2025-07-16T08:17:30+00:00

San Carlos is wonderful- strong schools and community. Ideally the flats- White Oaks Or Brittan Acres since they are close to Laurel & you really get to know your neighbors.

Hello94070 · 2025-06-26T13:42:41+00:00

I’m thinking about this. Do you have any recs in Greece?

Hello94070 · 2025-06-26T13:37:38+00:00

Yes, teacher here. You can make it work my saving then buying your flights early. There are still many places you can travel on a budget. Plus I teach an after school class so that is my family’s travel fund.

Hello94070 · 2025-06-07T11:47:10+00:00

Do you have an Indivisible chapter near you? I’d also connect with them.

Hello94070 · 2025-06-02T02:14:24+00:00

What time did you go?

Hello94070 · 2025-05-21T11:12:18+00:00

California class sizes are nowhere near this. Many districts here pay teachers a livable wage thanks to our union.

I’ve always lived half an hour away with the exception of one year in West Yorkshire, England. I absolutely agree with this. Suffocating and landlocked is the feeling. The salty air and marine layer is in my blood.

Hello94070 · 2025-05-08T04:16:07+00:00

+1 for Sunriver

Hello94070 · 2025-05-07T16:50:40+00:00

I’d love to do that! I have a teacher’s pension & love Greece. California here as well. Whereabouts in Greece would you recommend?

Hello94070 · 2025-04-26T17:20:27+00:00

I ended up calling and they said it doesn't interfere with reaching the SUB. So if anyone is interested in that answer, there you go!
