My Travel Story

My name is Sven Yaffe and I am currently employed as a project manager in the advertising industry based in Cape Town, South Africa. I have lived in South Africa my entire and have never had the opportunity to travel abroad. As long as I can remember I have had a fascination with the Asian culture and have always wanted to go and explore its vast terrains. I have a particular interest in Thailand.

A few years back I had considered teaching English in Thailand, but because I allowed outside influences to persuade me not to do it, I decided not to.
It is therefore high time that I broaden my horizons and experience a whole new culture and way of life. Being able to teach English to young kids in Thailand will be a very rewarding experience, knowing I am able to teach them a very valuable tool. Not only will I teach them the value of the English Language and in turn, they will teach me their rich culture.

This new venture, however, will not be possible if I am unable to gather the funds need to do the Travelbud TEFL program in Thailand. Unfortunately, I am not in a financial situation in which I can pay for it myself.

Any donation big or small will make a huge difference for this exciting venture. Your donations will be greatly appreciated.
