Relocation done and did! To China an expat goes… from Korea? This guy I knew back in South Korea has now moved his family to China. Is China the place to be or is it done?

Guess I should tell the story of how and why I started teaching English overseas. It’s rather simple.

Tiktok Live Studio now available for MacOS?! Content, Call to Actions, and Clients. Get going!

And wondering, what if I just went travelling?
