2022-03-07“When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” - Paulo Coelho
Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that one day I would teach English in Taiwan.
2022-03-04TAIWAN-A HIDDEN GEM OF ASIA
Had you asked me many moons ago on my study tour to Taiwan (this was about 14+ years ago)- if Taiwan would ever be a place that I would call “home”? I would have answered you, “Never in a thousand years”. But guess what? 14 years later and I have made it my “home” for the past 4 years and counting.
2022-03-05Why I Love to Teach Abroad
Every culture inherently has preconceived notions and impressions of another, regardless of whether they are based on fact, or stereotypical in nature. It is not until one has the unique opportunity to get immersed in another culture that he/she gains insights into what the genuine differences are, and comes to the realizations of the paradoxical similarities.

Usually people leave for better pay, opportunities, or for a better life. In my case, it was for a better life.

As a non-native English speaker and ‘just a Filipino teacher,’ it is virtually impossible for me to be accepted as an English teacher in countries that put premium on natives of those countries mentioned above as the only ones qualified to teach English abroad.

Upon arrival at the Taoyuan International Airport and seeing a glimpse of the island, Taiwan offers many interesting features that are very hard to ignore. These are a combination of modern and ancient culture, friendliness and hospitality of the local residences, and the diverse original Taiwanese food available everywhere. My first impression was that I feel like I found a home away from home.
