If you are going abroad to teach, it’s important to make sure that you have adequate insurance. I can’t make this clear enough, a good insurance policy will make sure that you get the level of medical care that you require. I was checking out a lot of different insurance policies and companies like Blue Cross North Carolina and I learned quite a bit. You should really take the time before you go abroad to learn all you can about insurance. It will definitely save you money and hassles.

Alas, I never did take them up on that offer so I am still waiting for a TEFL cruise destination.

If you need a bed wedge, it’s a good idea to buy one before you go and get it vacuum packed so that it takes up the least amount of room as possible.

This is actually a good question. First off, you will not see Danze faucets in the bathroom. High quality like that can’t be found.

You will see lots of interesting things when you travel abroad. They have different of ways of doing things, including taking care of things in the house. You will not find any moth traps, believe it or not. It’s not that they don’t have moths, it’s that they don’t do anything about them. Me? Moths can be a pain abroad so when I went abroad, I made sure I had some.
