HELPING TEACHERS TO MOVE ABROAD AND BUILD A LIFE OVERSEAS
FOR TEACHERS LOOKING FOR THEIR NEXT ADVENTURE
If you don’t know where to begin, then make this your first step
Design a Life You Don’t Need a Holiday From
The Footloose Teacher is for educators who know there’s more out there than the traditional path. Whether you’re applying for your first international role or trying to turn overseas teaching into a long-term lifestyle, I help you navigate the process with clarity and confidence. From finding the right schools and securing offers, to understanding visas, finances, and life on the ground, everything here is designed to move you from “thinking about it” to actually living it. This isn’t about escape—it’s about building a smarter, more flexible way to teach, earn, and live abroad.
International teaching is the opportunity to work in schools around the world—often teaching globally recognised curricula like IB or British programmes—while living in a completely different country. Most international schools are designed for expatriate families, which means competitive salaries, strong professional environments, and benefits such as housing, flights, and health insurance are often part of the package. But beyond the job itself, it’s a gateway to a different kind of life: one where your career funds your travel, your weekends look very different, and your perspective expands far beyond the classroom.
International Teaching in a Nutshell
Over the past 24 years, I’ve taught in 6 countries and 8 international schools across Asia. Australia, the Philippines, Singapore, China, Hong Kong and Thailand.
Where it Can Take You
‘Two roads diverged in a wood, and I — I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.’
Robert Frost
