"What are your plans when you are finished?"

As soon as we came to Bulgaria people started asking us, “What are your plans when you are finished?” How are you suppose to answer that question when you have two years ahead of you? Some people knew what they would like to do, but I felt like I just need to live the best I could now and think about this question later.

Well, I guess the past two months have been later. John and I have been thinking about all of our known options. Until recently, three weeks ago, we thought that our best plan was to go back to school. John would go back for his MBA and I would go back for my teaching certificate. This is still an option and a good one at that, but I think we have figured out something that fits were we are in our lives and what we would like to do during our lives better. We have always talked about living aboard while working and John has been surprised how much he likes teaching, so we have figured out a way to combine this two things. Currently, we are looking into getting our TESOL certification in Thailand after we complete our service. Why Thailand? Thailand is the least expensive place in the world to complete the required month training in order to receive our certification. The certification is the same any place you can take the course. We have also wanted to visit Thailand, so why not live there for a month. Once we get our certification, we will go to Japan to get a teach job. We know two people who have contacts in Japan. So, as of now this is our plan. Go to Thailand get certified then go to Japan get a job. We plan to teach for a year there, but we may like it. Who knows.
