I feel like I have explained it a million times for different people, so I won’t go into a lot of detail here. In short, I’ve discovered TEFL, which basically enables me to do what I actually want: travel, live in foreign cultures.
This was always a side-dream, because I didn’t expect it to be possible with a normal job or income. I thought I would be teaching high school Spanish in American suburbia, and if I was doing well, I could afford a trip in the summer to some country like Spain. Well, TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) enables me to live in Spain and teach English to pay my bills. Perfect!
I plan on being in Spain for about a year, just to give it a go. I won’t be personally satisfied after spending years trying to learn Spanish until I’m much more fluent with the language. I should have done this long ago, but I simply wasn’t aware. After this year, maybe I’ll stay longer, maybe I’ll go to a grad school if I’m still curious about the psychology of language and mind, or maybe I’ll take my teaching certificate and get a job teaching English in another country that interests me. (I’m hoping for Japan some day.)
I might be changing the design of this place. I might re-arrange the old posts, make multiple pages. So I’m sorry if you get disoriented. My plan for the site itself is to TRY and journal my experience of moving for the first time ever. Also, of being in Spain (not just moving, but that’s a life-change in itself for me).
So, I will try to make a page for “travel” posts, like my old entries, or if I go on vacation; my regular posts (which probably won’t be daily, but I want them to be); an about me page, etc… photos?
That’s all I have for ya.
Have a good day/night!
