3. What new opportunities or activities would I be interested in doing while
overseas?
4. Do I enjoy being in a big city where there are many people and much
noise? (If not, perhaps you should consider teaching in a small city or rural
area.)
5. Could I live in a place where there aren't many English speakers
perhaps only myself? (If not, perhaps you should make sure that there are
a few other English schools in your area, or work in a larger city.)
6. Am I able to live in small living accommodations? (If not, you should not
work in large cities in Asia and make sure to see a picture of your living
accommodations before you go.)
7. Am I willing to try new foods and adjust to a new taste that may be
completely different from what I am used to? (If not, you may want to
research the food of the country you are thinking of going to.)
8. Am I used to a certain standard of living? If so, what kind? (Does the
country provide the same sort of standard? It will never be exactly the
same as your home, but at least familiar.)
9. How much money do I need to save on top of my regular spending
and living expenses? (Remember, as foreigners, we tend to spend more
than the average citizen.)
10. What other personal or special conditions do I need in order to feel
comfortable in a new country? What are some things in my home country
that I would not be able to live without?
