Why not live your best life?

Postbox letter from Ricky

Little did I know, my midlife crisis would lead me to the adventure of a lifetime - teaching in Thailand!


My first year as a teacher in Thailand

The highs and the lows and what I've learned.

Now that this academic year is winding down, I reflect on my first year with a lot of mixed feelings. There have been a lot of awesome moments where I really felt like a teacher. I really felt like I was getting through to the students and I was the getting the job done.


We all have choices

Postbox letter from Jack
