Andy's Journeys to 78 countries & counting!
Today’s reblog sees me enter my final days in Georgia. Hope you enjoy! Today is December the 19th. I sit in my hotel room in Tbilisi typing out another blog entry. Life is strange. Tomorrow I fly out of Georgia, with a couple of hops across China, to find myself once again in my country of Australia. The teaching experience

Saturday again, more stories from Georgia. This post dates from the 26th of November, 2011. Hello everyone Things continue here in Georgia, most days being filled with the English teaching and school matters. The weather here is diabolical – There was a day a couple of weeks ago when the weather in Batumi closed over something fierce and well, there

Another look back at my time in the Republic of Georgia. This was after a few weeks of teaching and settling into life in a small Georgian town where power came and went as it pleased but the people were as warm as any you’re likely to meet.

I’ve attended at least three (off the top of my head) when travelling, two in Germany for people I already knew (family,

I’ve never done a ‘Throwback Thursday’ before, so here goes. I’ve put all my experiences with Interac, the company I thought English in Japan for for two years, into this post.

It, not surprisingly perhaps, would ‘blow’ regularly and the whole town would be without electricty. The worst example was in November 2011 when it was freezing, there was even snow, and
Read moreSo, welcome to the last episode in ‘The Interac Experience’. I’ve told you about the orientation, trainings and a bit about the teaching.
