Hi everyone,
I'm a 35 year old Australian who is considering relocating to Vietnam to teach English after thoroughly enjoying the month I spent travelling there last year.
However, at my stage of life, I would definitely not be treating this as some kind of gap year experience to ‘find myself', but rather a medium to long term life and career move.
I am already an experienced primary educator with a Masters degree in Special Education, and would hope that my qualifications/experience would open up some better opportunities than if I only had a TEFL cert etc.
I'd be really keen to hear the experiences of people who have been teaching in Vietnam for a number of years or who are planning to be there for the long term, and if people think this may be a good option for me at my stage of life or not.
Cheers.
Ricky,
