    Design a Life You Don’t Need a Holiday From

    The Footloose Teacher is for educators who know there’s more out there than the traditional path. Whether you’re applying for your first international role or trying to turn overseas teaching into a long-term lifestyle, I help you navigate the process with clarity and confidence. From finding the right schools and securing offers, to understanding visas, finances, and life on the ground, everything here is designed to move you from “thinking about it” to actually living it. This isn’t about escape—it’s about building a smarter, more flexible way to teach, earn, and live abroad.

    International teaching is the opportunity to work in schools around the world—often teaching globally recognised curricula like IB or British programmes—while living in a completely different country. Most international schools are designed for expatriate families, which means competitive salaries, strong professional environments, and benefits such as housing, flights, and health insurance are often part of the package. But beyond the job itself, it’s a gateway to a different kind of life: one where your career funds your travel, your weekends look very different, and your perspective expands far beyond the classroom.

    And that has made all the difference.’
