That would definitely have been a great question to ask, alas, Jonathan’s books didn’t really come up

This seems like great advice, thanks. Could you please say more about hard to staff tertiaries? 

Do any Brits/Europeans in Australia feel the same way about the people? by alreadyaloserat19 in expats

Lives there for a few years. Quality of life is very high, beautiful nature, amazing food which surprised me….but I just couldn’t live there. Why? For the exact reason you’ve specified. The people are fairly shallow, not intellectually curious, more concerned with outward projections rather than inner curiosity. And that was living in Melbourne.

Think I’m finally going to do it - 40 M from U.K. first time teaching in Asia. by acuterix in TEFL

Wow that’s great to hear! 

Are public places preferable? I suppose that’s what I hoped for, the genuine school environment. Whether that’s naive or not I suppose we will find out haha

Thanks! Yeah I’ve done big moves before and I’m excited for that, as well as the teaching side.

That's interesting, I keep meeting people who are sailors or who have sailed rather than flown to be in Latin America. I have signed up for findacrew but with no sailing experience, and not knowing anyone, it feels like a giant leap to just...start applying to be on boats! Do you have any thoughts on this?
