First time working abroad.

After a lot of consideration and deliberation, I decided to take up teaching abroad after seeing a TravelGrad advert. After speaking with the team and reviewing my options, I decided to settle on teaching in China as it was somewhere I had not been before. The TEFL courses was pretty straight forward, and after talking with a variety of schools to find the one most suitable to me.

As advice for first time travellers to China is e-bikers and scooters are everywhere, if you can ride one then it is very much worth looking into getting one whilst in China as it makes travelling around cities a lot more convenient. I would also advise seeing if in advance you can get as much detail about your job/area as possible. If you know someone in the area or can get a contact, it's always worth reaching out in advance to find what may be best suited for the area.
