How has TEFL, and pursuing this lifestyle, benefitted you with regard to your creative craft?
Teaching English in Vietnam has given me the financial freedom, and most importantly the actual time to work on my crochet. I don’t need to work full time hours to still make a really decent salary, meaning I have plenty of time for my hobbies - including crochet.
What positive refections can you give regarding your experiences, after having completed the TEFL course and travelled to a new country?
For creatives who are not yet self sustaining financially, TEFL teaching can be a great way to make good money, whilst having the time and freedom to work on their craft. Additionally, TEFL in Asia can mean cheaper creative materials for a lot of different creative outlets - cheaper art supplies, textiles, even things like photography equipment can be cheaper!
