I'm having an amazing time!

by: Lilah Cseh - United StatesProgram: Paid Teaching Program in Japan with TravelBud

I am coming up on 6 months into my placement as an English teacher in Japan and could not be happier that I chose to work with TravelBud! TravelBud makes it extremely easy to begin the process of moving your life abroad, from facilitating a TESOL certification course, setting up interviews with prospective schools, and even connecting you with incredible people making up an in-country support team. Every staff member I have spoken with from this company has been incredibly kind, patient, and mor...

A unique experience!

by: Rachel Perera - United StatesProgram: Paid Teaching Program in Costa Rica with TravelBud

Living and teaching in Costa Rica was a very unique and fulfilling experience.

I was placed with a host family in San Ramon who took really good care of me, and was able to easily make friends with the other teachers and even some students so I had a little community. I think overall, the cost of the prog...

One of the best experiences of my life!

by: Zoyaa Zafir - United KingdomProgram: Paid Teaching Program in South Korea with TravelBud

Approaching this new job at first felt very nerve racking and overwhelming, however I do not regret a single thing! The whole process before moving to Korea was a very smooth transition. I had a lot of help and support from Aubrey, who was very sweet and was always able to help straight away when I had a worry, question or concern! Teaching here now has allowed for me to change my lifestyle for the better. I’ve experienced so many new foods, sites and made loads of life long friends! I used to h...

What inspired you to travel abroad?

My first real independent travel experience was with my fellow TravelBud partner, Stu Brown. We did a mini exchange to a friend’s place in Dusseldorf, Germany, and had the opportunity to visit various towns within Western Europe. Looking back on this experience, the things that stand out for me the most are the new sounds, cars, buildings, smells, tastes, cultural differences, and the excitement of how all of these together created a sensory overload in my mind.

What inspired you to travel abroad?

The biggest effect traveling has had on me personally is that I’ve become more open and understanding to different cultures and nationalities. I’ve heard their stories and their views on the world, which has helped me broaden my own views and opinions.
