I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."
Hi there!
Thanks for visiting The Footloose Teacher. Please check out my blog where I share some insights into my life as an international school teacher living, working and travelling in Asia.
The Oxford dictionary defines ‘footloose‘ as: able to travel freely and do as one pleases …. “I am footloose and fancy-free —I can follow my job wherever it takes me”.
Before digital nomads were a thing, teachers were some of the original working nomads.
So who am I?
I’m Mark. I’m an Australian teacher living what I consider to be a very fortunate life. After more than 20 years of living and working in Asia (5 countries so far), I’ve finally decided to document my adventures and to describe what this life is like.
I hope that my blog will be informative, entertaining and even provide a hint of inspiration.
The world really is my classroom. Sometimes I’m the teacher but mostly I’m the student. Join me for a part of the learning journey.
