I am joining a program called World Explorers, which allows me to travel abroad, food and housing provided, in exchange for 15 hours a week spent with my host family teaching them English. It is a 3 month long program, and I am aiming to leave November of this year. Traveling to France to teach English would build my resume by being able to add in that I was a private language tutor, and also my new language skills that I will have acquired while abroad, which in turn will increase my chances of getting a job when I return home. In France, I will help children and even adults with their conversational English, and in turn I will immerse myself in their daily lives for 3 months, becoming part of the community. I have always veen enthralled with the idea of traveling the world and learn new things but it can be expensive. With this program though, I can save money and visit where I want to and also change some lives in the process.
