As the sun rises a little earlier each day and the cherry trees in our neighborhood fill with fruit, our three years in Europe are coming to a close. With only a few weeks left of this European family adventure, I find myself thinking back over all that we've seen and done and learned. Highs like winter paddleboarding in Barcelona, nighttime tobaganning in Slovakia and hiking by herds of sheep along the south Coast of Wales together. Eating dark chocolate gelato with whipped cream in Rome and caramelized banana oatmeal in London. Watching Croatian fireworks explode above our balcony on New Year's Eve and Hungarian light shows at the Christmas markets in Budapest. Lows like croup in Nuremberg and COVID in Split, Scarlet Fever in Tuscany, a broken arm in Spain and a CAT scan in an Austrian emergency room. Lows of loneliness that could creep in unexpectedly, anxiety that could catch hold in that moment when I'd realize just how little backup was behind us if we hit a rough patch. So here we are, getting ready to say goodbye, and I just wanted to share a little of this life abroad. Maybe you're thinking of coming overseas yourself, or maybe you've tuned in a bit to our adventure, and you're interested to hear how the story ends. Today on the podcast, let's talk about the good stuff, the medium stuff, and the tough stuff.   Links Mentioned: Sign up for Camp Creative Here:  https://sparkcreativity.kartra.com/page/camppodcasting2024   Go Further:  Explore alllll the Episodes of The Spark Creativity Teacher Podcast.

My first year living abroad was a total DISASTER. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, and I learned a lot of lessons the hard way. Thankfully, I'm here to show you the error of my ways so that you can have an incredible move abroad journey without making my mistakes. So in this episode, I'm going to fill you in on the entire very entertaining saga of my first year abroad, AND then I'm going to break down the 5 things I did wrong and tell you what you should do instead. Resources Mentioned:--> Join the Move Abroad Crash Course Here--> MyTEFL online TEFL certification 

In this episode, I'm going to be spilling some major tea on all the move-abroad programs...Whether it's that fun-looking teach abroad program, getting your TEFL for free in exchange for a few months of teaching, or those digital nomad programs where you all move around the world together while working remotely, I'm not a fan.  Why do I have such an issue with all of these programs and what should you do instead? In this episode I'm going to break down why these programs are NOT a good deal, why there's no such thing as "free",  and I'll even be doing the math to show you how much money you're wasting. Ouch!Now if you want to feel empowered to move abroad without a program, I've got a 4-day LIVE bootcamp starting June 10th!Ready to make your dream happen?

So come with me today on a little tour of my family's favorite spots in this part of the world. And I hope someday they become some of your favorites too.  Areas we'll explore:  Prague (an amazing mix of old world and whimsical modernity) Budapest (my top recommendation for Christmas-y travel) Northwest Slovenia (my husband's dream destination) and Croatia (where I would love to live someday) Go Further:  Explore alllll the Episodes of The Spark Creativity Teacher Podcast.

We also talk about how we can effectively interpret the results rather than based on our past biases or what society deemed our personalities. We’d love to hear about your results from the personality tests, so share them on our social media pages so we can see!Alex Stevenson is an educator, entrepreneur and content creator from South Africa. He has lived in Asia for the last 6 years, with the past 4 being in Vietnam, teaching English in countries such as South Korea and Vietnam.

We end with Dana asking Alex what sorts of personality tests he’s used to help determine the best fits for his business, and that’s where we’ll continue next week!Alex Stevenson is an educator, entrepreneur and content creator from South Africa.
