My Travel Story

  • TEFL/Teach Abroad
For as long as I can remember I have wanted to be able to comunicate with everyone around me and not be bound by language. By taking a TEFL course to become an English teacher in Madrid, Spain on a student visa, I will be starting a career with the tools I need to educate not only others but myself also. 

Going to Spain on a student visa presents even more opportunity than just teaching English. I will be enrolled in Spanish language and cultural classes for the duration of the year I am in Spain. Anyone living in America today knows that if you can speak a second language, you are much more valuable to an employer.

I chose Spain as my destination for the added benefit of learing (Castillian) Spanish, as aposed to Latin American Spanish, through immersion. What better way to become bilingual than to live and learn in the country of origin where you can practice every day?

Being a teacher is not about you, it's about your students; I want to give children and adults everywhere the opportunity to learn a second language so they have more tools to succeed and make their dreams a reality also. Communication is key, without it we would never get anything accomplished. I have a desire to be able to talk to people from all walks of life and hear their "two cents".
