I'm having an amazing time!

I am coming up on 6 months into my placement as an English teacher in Japan and could not be happier that I chose to work with TravelBud! TravelBud makes it extremely easy to begin the process of moving your life abroad, from facilitating a TESOL certification course, setting up interviews with prospective schools, and even connecting you with incredible people making up an in-country support team. Every staff member I have spoken with from this company has been incredibly kind, patient, and more than willing to answer any and all questions I had about teaching, living abroad, and the entire process of doing so. If you are thinking about teaching abroad, I cannot recommend TravelBud enough - they are a perfect resource to make the process of moving your entire life to another country as seamless as possible, whether it's your first or tenth time doing so!

Unforgettable Experience

I can say with confidence that this has been the most rewarding and exciting experience I have had. TravelBud made the process of moving to a new country a hassle free experience. I was put into a TEFL program in Costa Rica where met lifelong friends and build a network in a new country. We had plenty of free time to explore and enjoy local activities. My time in the TEFL program was truly such a memorable and fun time and I will always remember it fondly. Going through TravelBud, I felt a peace of mind and overall excitement for the journey that was ahead. I highly recommend them :)

Emma, USA

Teach in Costa Rica Program

Great experience in a wonderful part of the world!

I didn't know what to expect when uprooting my life to move to Costa Rica and embarking on this training. I was so lucky to have such an amazing group of fellow teachers around me including an utterly sensational and supportive course leader, Carla, who always kept the course fun and light while also putting my skills and experience to use and giving me responsibilities in the classroom.

I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a new challenge. I came here to deliberately make life more challenging for myself, leave my cushy life back in England, and discover who I was deep down in this brave new world.

Already I can feel I have changed so much and, come what may, I will never regret the courage it took to boldly go into the unknown. The sentiment as to why I left and the opportunities this course has provided me can be summarised in a poem that is close to my heart:

'I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.'

All in all - 10/10 would highly recommend.
