I’m trying to make a move myself and am curious what worked and how well it turned out.

    Are you still teaching English or did you manage to get out and do something else? My understanding of English teaching in Asia is that it’s a bit of a career trap.

      Well, I now run my own (half-owned) school in one of the most beautiful places on the planet, work four days a week, 6 hours a day, and fund several hobbies, a nice house, and a gym habit. I can’t really complain. Maybe I’d have a more secure retirement working as a middle manager back home, but which one sounds like more of a career trap to you? Oh, and I can transfer my pension to Canada and go live there when I retire if I really want to.
