Hello!
My name is Bethany. I am 25 years old and I am living and working in China.
I am a TEFOL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) teacher. I have been to Mexico, Ireland, and the Bahamas with family, but this is my first time traveling by myself.

I have been in China for two months. I love living in China and teaching here. The people in the town I am in are very kind and friendly. I have met five other foreigners here. I am the first ever to come here with curly read hair though, so I get a lot of people who gawk at me. I am getting used to life, and manners used here, as well.

If you have any ideas for writing blogs, or picture ideas to share, please let me know.

Thank you,
Bethany… In China

Hi Bethany! I'm very new here myself, but I'd like to say welcome anyway. I'm hoping to look into TEFOL after I graduate college but know very little about it; may I ask how you got involved in it?

You seem to be doing fine with your blogs so far! You have great insights and interesting photos. Are you having particular trouble with anything relating to travel blogging?

Hello!
I went to college for Early Childhood Education.
I went through ITTT online, which is a certificate school. You can get your TEFOL or TESOL certificate. I got my TEFOL certificate through them. There are videos and help guides, even an online tutor. I think anyone who plans to teach overseas should take one of the courses from ITTT.
