For years I have dreamt of travelling to the beautiful Thailand, and of teaching overseas! We all have our “places” in this world, places that we dream of seeing, and Thailand is just one of mine! And teaching; teaching is my passion! For this all to come to fruition now, is almost difficult to grasp. However, it really is happening, and happening soon! On September 3rd 2010 I will begin my journey to the kingdom of Thailand, an independent southeast Asian country surrounded by the equally historically brilliant countries of Burma, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, and Vietnam! I am absolutely thrilled to experience the rich and humble culture of Thailand that has, for so long, enticed me. I feel very lucky, and very privileged to have been given this opportunity, and I owe many thanks to the those who have made it possible!
The purpose of my four month trip to Thailand is to volunteer at an international school for children with special needs. Over the past seven years, working with individuals who face different challenges has slowly, but surely become a large part of my life. I am elated to be able to extend my love for working with individuals of this community, over in Thailand. In preparation for this adventure, I am successfully developing a repertoire of activities that I can bring to the school to hopefully benefit the program. However, I do need some assistance in the general travelling-preparation-department! So, I would like to pose the following questions…
What do you suggest I bring?! (in general, ANY ideas)
What shots and medications do you recommend I get?? (for those of you who have travelled to southeast Asia)
What hotspots and places do you suggest I make an effort to see?
Thank you so much for any tips you can offer, and stay tuned, as I will be using this blog to keep in touch, post pictures, and share my experiences while I am away!
Peace and Love,
Denise
