Welcome to the ninth episode of the Teaching Abroad Podcast. Teaching abroad is a wonderful, wild ride. This episode is about what happens after the international teaching job interview but before you step onto the plane to your new home. One of these things, of course, is packing, but that is such a big topic, I’m going to leave it for its own episode. Next episode in fact. So keep tuned for next week’s episode of the teaching Abroad Podcast to get the top lessons I’ve learnt about packing from the 4 times I have moved to either work or study abroad.
