I have thoroughly enjoyed this trip. Sharing remarkable experiences in the UK with my group has been incredible, and I have felt warmly welcomed by everyone over the past month. I am deeply grateful for the laughter, conversations, and memories we have shared. Although some individuals may not have been fully prepared for the journey, this experience has been a valuable step in life for those stepping out of their comfort zones. Each experience has provided its own unique lesson.

Alyssa MountainTeach in Thailand Participant, October 2017 at Chitralada School, Bangkok
“I originally joined the Teach in Thailand program with the intention of only staying 6 months. That 6 months quickly changed into a year and that year became another. What was supposed to be a 6-month experience, turned into an almost 2-year adventure. No words, in any language, could accurately express how much I loved teaching in Thailand. It was the most challenging thing I have yet to do with my life, but also the most rewarding by far. It certainly had its ups and downs, but I think that is the beauty of an experience like this. It offers you an unfiltered look at not only a new culture, but also yourself. The challenges I faced in Thailand pushed me and forced me to learn more about myself than I ever thought possible. The things you learn in an experience like this are invaluable to you whether you would like to continue teaching or not. I will always be grateful to the Teach in Thailand program and to OEG—for the experience, for the culture, for the growth, and most importantly for some of the best friends I will ever have. If you treat this experience with the care, hard work, and respect it deserves, I promise you will not be disappointed. So, get out there and see what the world has to offer!”
