Ever wondered how living abroad can profoundly change your life? Join me as I recount my eight-year adventure of teaching in Thailand, Hong Kong, and Spain, and the pivotal choice to remain in London instead of venturing to Costa Rica.

This episode is a heartfelt celebration of the joy, gratitude, and personal growth gained from these diverse cultures. I delve into my experiences as a special needs teacher, the challenges faced upon returning to England, and how I’ve embraced a renewed sense of wonder and curiosity in my career.

Struggling with depression and anxiety while living in a dream destination sounds counterintuitive, but it was my reality in Hong Kong. By opening up about my personal battle and the support from a compassionate head teacher, I highlight the importance of embracing one's true emotions and self-love.

I share the insights gained from interviews with schools in Costa Rica, reaffirming my passion for special needs education and witnessing the positive changes in the educational sector.

This episode is a testament to resilience and finding purpose, aiming to inspire and encourage listeners to focus on the positives amidst life's challenges. Don't miss out on this transformative journey!
