At first the idea of travelling to Thailand was very daunting but I can honestly say it was the best decision I have ever made in my life. My original plan was to stay in Thailand only for 5 months but I’ve extended my stay for an extra 9 months. Teaching in Thailand was an incredible experience and

the joy of seeing your students every morning brightens up your day. Your students become a major part of your daily life and, with their uplifting spirits, it’s very difficult to be down and out. I can’t recommend it enough to anyone that wants to travel and teach I’m Thailand! JUST DO IT! Jackie Moriarty, UK

Now you’ve heard from us, hear from a real life intern. Meet Jackie, who’s recently finished her Internship in Thailand

and loved every second!
