My expat journey
Istanbul, Barbados
Going to be teaching at BISI
Almaty, Kazakhstan
Teaching at Miras International School
Chemistry teacher
People I work with are very friendly when you get to know them. The students have a very English sense of humour! Weather in the spring/summer. Mountain views.
Rules and reposnibilities - signing 'orders' for everything, from an art competition to working on a Saturday. Failing electricity, internet and hot water supplies. City pollution.
COrnwall, England
Teaching
Cornish sea views; fresh air, balmy summers and bearable winters. Walkign my dalmatians on the beach.
Expensive to live; Council tax and heating costs are crippling. Could never find a permanent job.

Love the City, my apartment and the school. The people are very friendly and I feel very safe here. The mountains still take my breath away every morning when I go to work. However, I am surprised that not many locals can speak any English at all. I ... Read More
