In reply to JB. There often seems to be a trade off between great pay and great location :) I can empathize!

Ahhh….Thailand! I went there so many times on vacation when teaching in Korea, but just couldn’t bring myself to move there. The pay is a bit low, but I’m sure I would have liked it a lot more than Korea 🙂

I’ve been working in South Korea for 10 years and have visited Thailand 6 times! I actually think I should have just worked in Thailand from the start.

The Backpacking community (and Travel Bloggers) is just so small, i briefly met Leah while working in a hostel in Peru!!! So great to see so many females working and blogging around the globe! I too got my TEFL (lots of advice also on my blog) and used it in Ecuador, its well worth it! Keep travelling girls!

In reply to Brittany. Hey Brittany! Thank you so much for your kind words and kudos! Sounds like you have an amazing journey ahead. I love to hear that I've helped inspire some tiny part of it. Enjoy these last months of butterflies and daydreaming!

Hi Alex!

Just wanted to tell you how much of a fan I am of your blog – I recently finished reading every last one of your posts on South East Asia!!

I’m currently waiting till November to take on an indefinite trip around South East Asia, hopefully picking up work somewhere along the way! All of your information has been invaluable, and I loved reading all your posts, often making me smile, and also inspiring me to take on some more adventurous activities I wouldn’t of otherwise considered!!

(ps to get through the mediocre and seemingly everlasting days before I leave, I have been reading hundreds of different travel blogs to get inspiration and yours is hands down the best!)

Keep doing what you do 🙂

Great stuff Leah and Alex, I just visited Thailand for the first time last month and loved it, but was totally gutted I missed out seeing more of Chiang Mai because my passport was damaged and I had to rush back to Bangkok, as I’d heard great things about Chiang Mai and this is no different!
