If you're a family thinking about moving abroad, let us give you a glimpse of what could be! In 2015, we took the leap and moved to Beijing, China. We had no idea what to expect. We didn’t sell our home; instead, we rented it out, without deliberately knowing, making a smart financial decision that allowed us to grow while seeing the world.
We often hear stories of people selling up, leaving their jobs, and traveling the world—but that's not our story! We were two teachers who wanted to see and experience the world, and we thought, why not. So, we took a chance, packed our bags, and set off on a global teaching adventure.
Fast forward to today: we’ve taught in China, Indonesia, and Cambodia. Now, we’re on our biggest adventure yet—living in Ethiopia with our two young daughters. We’re a family of four, paying down our mortgages, and still teaching. We're adventurous, easy-going, and love what we do. Living abroad is far from perfect but we wouldn’t have it any other way.
