Been avoidin' the US taxman for 19 years now. Don't agree much with the politics and would rather not help subsidize wars that I disagree with. Travelin'? Not so much anymore since the youngin' came along...

But boy, there for a while, the missus and I had ourselves a ball being dere and doing dat!

I was already traveling, as a jobbing actor, street performer, extremely crappy musician etc.

Turned to EFL when I tired of the instability.

There's been a fair amount of travel in EFL for me, though less than previously.

How much of your life teaching becomes depends on you- I like it enough to want to do it well, and to progress in my career. That means spending a little longer in places, pursuing training, taking on additional responsibilities, and studying.

But I know a guy with a CELTA who's been 12-18 months in more countries than I can count- he's a decent teacher, but won't ever go past entry level, as he isn't interested in further training and doesn't stick around long enough to get promoted. Sure has seen a thing or two, though.

Best,
Justin
