                      I decided to teach last summer with GeoVisions Foundation in Thailand because one of my goals was to experience a new culture and immerse myself into it. I feel I have really accomplished that during my time here.

                      It's great to be on a program where you get paid and become so close to your host family. Just be open to the experience and all it has to offer. I would also like to add that I am a solo female traveler and had no issues with safety.
