Koh Chang, Thailand has been my favorite Thai Island since visiting it last in 2012. I was excited to get back and show Shelly the island and experience it’s laid back vibe. We decided to hit the road again and after working a wonderful 13 week nursing contract at Tri-City Medical Center in Oceanside, California. […]
Happy New Year from Lonely Beach, Koh Chang, Thailand! The New Year is upon us and here in Thailand! Really glad the world didn’t end on the 21st as the Mayan Priest we met in Guatemala predicted. I’ve had the ability to be alone and think a lot over the past two weeks. It’s really nice […]
We have completed our TEFL program in Thailand and week 4 of teaching is over. We also took our final exam this week. Shelly beat me again with a 98 percent. I only had a mere 94 percent. Both good scores and we are really happy to have passed our TEFL/TESOL course with UniTEFL. They have […]
This week of teaching English as a foreign language was interesting and challenging to say the least! We taught at two schools that we have already visited in the past. The MettaSuksa School and the Bua Krok Noi School as well. It is amazing how from one week to the next how things change with […]
We finished week two of teaching and classroom work in our TEFL Course in Thailand. This week was a little more hectic than last week. It seems that the biggest issue we have had is the lack of time in preparation. Most teaching days are superseded by half of a day of instruction on our lesson […]
We finished our first week of school to learn how to teach ESL and we love it! We are currently in our first week of real teaching experience at UniTEFL in Chiang Mai, Thailand. After one week of instruction on theory and grammar, it was time to go to a local school and get some […]

Shelly and I start our TESOL/ TEFL training in Chiang Mai, Thailand, this next Monday and have been busy preparing for the start. The school will […]
We left Chumphon on our way to Chiang Mai with a change in plans from being Divemasters in Koh Tao, to English Teachers in Chiang Mai. We took the night bus to Bangkok that left at 9pm. It was somewhat what I had expected, but not quite as bad as it could have been. We were […]
While in Koh Tao we met up with our friends Tasha and Danny. Originally we wanted to find jobs in Koh Tao as Divemasters, however as plans turned out, there were no jobs for us. We decided to follow Danny and Tasha from Koh Tao to Koh Lanta where we could hang out with them […]
It’s amazing how fast things change on the road. We were in Roatan, Honduras and finished our Divemaster Training and now are Certified PADI Divemasters. Dive Professionals if you will. One of our Instructors worked in Thailand before going to Roatan and worked as a Divemaster for Big Blue Dive Center on Koh Tao and […]
