Where We Place Teachers
My stay in Thailand was amazing!! My fellow teachers, the students and the Thai people I met have impacted my life in ways I can't express. Combine this with the beauty of the country, the food, the travel and the graciousness of everyone I met, I had the time of my life.
David Bujarski
Teach In Thailand
I decided to teach last summer with The Cultural Exchange Project 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.

Paid Teacher - Thailand
Moving to South Korea is a complete culture immersion; every day is a new adventure. I have gone to Busan, Daegu, and Gyeongin. My goal is to explore as much of South Korea and the nearby countries as possible.
