Lately, I've been getting a lot of questions about what I do for a living. "How did you start teaching overseas?" "Do you teach at a Chinese school or an American school?" "How do you travel so much?" "What kinds of benefits do you get?"

Then the most important: "How can I do it too?"

Six years ago, when the U.S. economy took a turn and I was left without a job, I decided to throw all caution to the wind and move to Korea to teach English. I had never taught before, I hadn't traveled much, and admittedly, kids weren't really my thing. But I thought, Hey, I can do anything for a year.
