Description

From 10 Years in Science to a Calling in Education | US Degree Student & TEFL L5 (Young Learners) | Committed to a 6+ Month Placement
ABOUT ME
My name is Michele. For ten years, I built a successful, structured career as a chemist in Italy. However, over the past few years, my path went through a profound and unexpected evolution. I realized I wanted a life driven by human connection, not just a productive environment.
Accordingly, in November 2024, I took a leap. I relocated to Australia, dedicating myself to intense physical labor and independent travel, completely immersing myself in the English language. That high-pressure environment tested me, sharpened my fluency, and funded my next chapter: exploring Asia.

I spent three months in Rishikesh, India, grounding myself in meditation and yoga. As I traveled onward through Thailand and Vietnam, connecting deeply with local communities, my perspective permanently shifted. I realized my true calling wasn't just to travel but to be genuinely useful to someone else.

That realization led me to education. For this reason I am currently pursuing an accelerated US Bachelor's Degree in Educational Studies online, and I have already earned my Level 5 TEFL + Young Learners Certification.

Now, I am bringing this all together. I am relocating to Cambodia with a specific focus: to dedicate the next 6+ months to gaining rigorous, hands-on classroom experience while I complete my degree. I bring the discipline of a scientist, the adaptability of a global traveler, and a deep, genuine desire to help children thrive.

It was a truly beautiful experience staying at Scott’s property in the eco-village.

During the first two weeks, Scott was in Europe, but he still gave me clear instructions via video calls and, most importantly, his trust — which I really appreciated. In that period, I felt deeply regenerated by working in the garden, going bushwalking, and … read more

I had a wonderful experience with Lisa and James. Their place is peaceful and surrounded by nature, perfect for slowing down and reconnecting.

The work was varied — whipper snipping, fixing the deck, weeding, planting, and organising the shed — and I always felt appreciated. The food was great, always fresh and high-quality.

I also learned a lot … read more

Michele came to us with a plan in mind of doing a course that would set him on a career. He was going to be independent and stay with us for longer than our normal period. When the course didn't pan out as hoped and he was available full time and needed to be catered for, that changed things in our plans.

Wet weather and previous commitments of … read more
