Best decision ever!
I am a naturally anxious person and going abroad to teach was one of the scariest things I’d ever done.
TravelBud was so helpful in calming my nerves and ensuring everything was prepared so that I had less to worry about and could enjoy myself more.
Overall it was the best decision I could have made and I’m so happy that I was able to have this experience and so grateful to TravelBud for making it possible!
NicciBest Decision of My Life!
I graduated from University with a science degree and no clue what I wanted the next step to be. I knew I wanted to travel, but I felt pressured to jump into a 9-5 job.
The Teach English in program is great because not only does it allow you to experience completely different things from your home country, but it also gives you the chance to create strong bonds with the people in the TESOL course.
This was the best decision of my life and I don’t regret it one bit 🙂
LaurenAn amazing experience in South Korea
I found the assistance from Travel Bud to be excellent. The staff were very helpful and provided me with very valuable information. At no point did I feel that I could not approach Travel Bud with any concerns I had.
I want like to extend my sincerest gratitude to all the staff at Travel Bud very their help and assistance in helping me to have an amazing experience in South Korea.
MatthewBest choice of my life
This has been one of the best choices of my life. I did my TESOL in Ho Chi Minh City and now I am living in Hanoi. During the TESL everybody was extremely helpful and assisted me with anything I needed. I found this course a good way to become acclimated to living in another country as well as a funnel into overall Vietnam!
The market tours, history lessons, language lessons, and the course itself all provided me with the tools I need to survive here.
