Travelling
Activities i am interested in:
I discover lesser-known destinations & hidden gems to benefit locals. Pop culture misleads travelers' decision-making about where to travel, therefore, wherever the concierge tells you to go, don't.
My next destination:
Prague, Czech Republic - from Jun 2024 until Jun 2024 View allDescription
Hello! My name is Alex and I'm a searcher. For the past nine years, I’ve taught ESL (English as a second language) globally in five different countries: Turkey (Istanbul, Gaziantep), China (Wanfeng), Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur), Vietnam (Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City), and Ukraine (Kyiv). Traveling to various locations internationally and meeting new people is what drives me. Anthony Bourdain once wrote, "Travel isn't always pretty. You go away. You learn. You get scarred, marked, and changed in the process. It even breaks your heart."

I taught English across the globe in countries, such as Turkey, China, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Ukraine. Each country I live and teach in I take the basic levels so I am able to communicate with the locals. The best way to learn a culture is by learning that country’s language.Skills and knowledge I'd like to share or learn
