What’s next? Tourist Time!

Weeks of writing lesson plans, one-to-one sessions (with your own personal Czech student), grammar presentations and more details on lexical and phonological methodology than one could ever desire have finally come to an end. Post graduation confusion seems to have set in quickly with the ever-present uncertainty of what life holds in store. Annual contracts made it difficult to commit to a location, and in return, new plans begin to emerge daily. As most know, the intention was never to leave Prague. So why am I?

Moving away from the comforts of Seattle was a difficult decision. For all of the excuses I might have given, there was one underlying reason: I was stuck. Something I told myself would not happen again; and so I moved.

I had found out about TEFL Worldwide, Prague through a college friend who completed it a few years prior. One of my best friends jumped on board with the idea immediately and off we went. I should have known Prague wasn’t going to satisfy what I was trying to find. Do I regret the decision? Not a chance. The program was amazing and I would recommend it to anyone. The friends I made in Prague are awesome and I will miss them. However, its time to move on.

Party time

As a wise friend said, the best thing I have going for me is there is no plan. I mentioned in the last post that southeast Asia is on the top of the list. Thailand and Vietnam have a number of 5-6 month summer programs that are looking appealing and for now that’s where I think I’m going. Who knows, there’s a good possibility that could change, but for now it seems solid.

We have until Friday with an official place to stay in Prague and then the true adventure begins. Lisa is close, relatively speaking, and I am going to visit her before I leave the region. Until then, it’s tourist time in Prague.

Scott, Katherine and I spent all day yesterday wandering around Prague. Below are some pictures of the cool places we saw. More to come soon.
