    Hi, I’m a high school student soon to graduate, I plan on trying to get into on of the international colleges in Korea, (I currently live in the US) I plan to live in Korea during and after that, do you any tips on the best plan on how I should go about this? I’m currently learning Korean so I am able to live much easier there, and also dam the college is so cheap there compared to America lol

      Hi Angelena! It is kind of crazy how cheap college is in comparison to the US. I would suggest finding some groups – maybe on Facebook, for expats, students living abroad and those kinds of things to find people to connect with. Make sure to research visas and what’s allowed in terms of staying over there past studies. You may want to join the TBA Travel Tribe on Facebook and see if there are any ladies who have done this or something similar or are currently living in Korea: https://www.facebook.com/groups/947813952040668

  2. Hello, I am 53 yrs old and mixed-race African, European, Irish, Middle Eastern, and central Asian according to my DNA. although I have light golden skin that makes me look black. I want to take the TEFL certification and move somewhere in Asia. my ethnicity is going to be a big challenge to you have any recommendations also are there other bi-racial teachers or communities that will help me adjust . I don’t want to be double isolated and want to make friends.

      Hi Angelique! The TEFL certification is a wonderful thing and job to pursue! At this time, I am not aware of other bi-racial teachers or communities — but I am sure they exist! You may want to reach out to the ladies in the TBA Travel Tribe on FB to see if they have any feedback or know of any resources to help you out: https://www.facebook.com/groups/947813952040668/

Happy Earth Day, friends! 🌍✨

Today is a beautiful reminder that the steps we take now ripple into the future. We’re not just caring for nature—we’re caring for generations to come. 🌱👣

Every small shift from ditching plastic, rethinking how we travel, to choosing sustainable over convenient adds up. These everyday choices help protect the planet our kids, nieces, nephews, and future dreamers will one day explore.

It doesn’t have to be perfect or overwhelming. Start small. Stay curious. Keep going. 💚

I’ve shared a few resources in my stories today for anyone looking to make a difference, no matter where you’re starting from.

Let’s protect this beautiful world, together. For today, for tomorrow, for all the tomorrows after that. 🌎✨
