Which of the three continents you have lived in was your favourite? That’s pretty cool. Were you able to figure out a way to be in the two places at once?

Part of my reasoning behind getting a teaching degree at the time was my growing wanderlust and the fact that you can teach anywhere.

It was one of the best experiences of my life and, despite not saving a cent that year, I don’t regret it one bit.

Since then, I’ve gone to journalism school and started down a new career path – but I hope to move abroad again one day… One day, just like you said.

IMO, if you’re gonna do this, now is the time.

Vancouver will always be home base in my heart but living in Cape Town and London are experiences I would do in a heartbeat again.

Go, explore! Do it while you still can because it can get very logistically complicated once kids arrive on the scene 😀

Rio would be so cool! I’ll definitely keep everyone posted.

It’s part of it, but there’s another portion too. This would certainly be a big risk, considering.. well, career, mortgage, new marriage, etc, but J is supportive (I’ve discussed it with him) so I just have to make it happen.. scary!

Thanks for the tips, Min Min. I am more than aware that volunteering costs money.

I used Thailand as an example, but that’s not the actual country I was looking at. I am not looking to go volunteer with animals so I can ride them.. nor watch them have soccer matches (is that even a thing? lol..)

I never did get that itch until recently. It totally just snuck up on me!
