In this episode, we talk about all things teaching English abroad! As a source of income while traveling, this was the best option for us. The first country we moved to and worked in was in Thailand. In this episode, we talked about:

Teaching English in Thailand
How we were scammed with Island TEFL, then found last-minute jobs on Craigslist out of desperation
What it was like teaching for the first time in Chonburi, Thailand, which was just an hour and a half drive from Bangkok
The requirements, pay, etc. of teaching English in a primary school in Thailand
Moving back to the US and discovering last minute that we hated it and needed to go back abroad again!
Finding jobs last minute in South Korea
Working as ESL teachers in a hagwon (or after-school language institution)
Realizing 5 months in that we hated it and why we did
Doing what is commonly referred to as a "Midnight Run," which is fleeing Korea to escape from your job and responsibilities
Teaching English in Vietnam (just Marilyn)
Making the switch from teaching in the physical classroom to the online classroom with VIPKID
What VIPKID is, how to get a job with them, why it allows us to be "digital nomads," and why we love the transition

And so much more!
