Great thoughtful update. I get all these type of questions from my senior friends. Keep exploring the world and reaching out for support and ideas is my mantra. My 6 week Portugal trip really has made a difference. Porto is such a cute and laid back place.
I haven't landed an TEFL gig yet but am applying. Looks like I may be in Spain in September. It would be nice to meet for some tapas if your around. I'm learning how to cook cool stuff I had in Portugal.
In the meantime, I'm at markjoe1643@gmail.com if I can help support your adventure in any way.
Great writing,
Mark
