My Travel Story

by: Lyan Ortega Start Date: Jul 7, 2017 - End Date: Nov 3, 2017
I will be moving to the ‘Land of Smiles’ to teach English.

Why? Learning a second language in countries like Thailand, where tourism is a major part of the economy and where the country is developing quickly, can be a ticket to a better life. As a teacher in Thailand, I will be putting my little grain of sand to try and break the cycle of poverty that many Thai children are born into.

I have been able to save the money I will need for my living expenses while there but I still need money for my plane ticket there and back. I would also like to be able to take teaching materials for the kids when I go, and all this requires money. As much as  I love teaching it is not one of the best paying careers and saving up for this trip has not been easy.
