My name is Andrea Meyers, and I am excited to be the new Teaching Abroad Editor for WanderingEducators.com. I spent eight years teaching in U.S. schools in Saipan, Colombia, and Saudi Arabia. While living overseas, I had opportunities to travel in 22 countries on four continents. I still have the travel bug and try to indulge whenever possible.

Teaching in U.S. schools overseas can be a fascinating experience, and if you are the adventurous type who likes to travel, it's a wonderful way to see the world. In the coming months, I will post a series of articles on teaching overseas; specifically, how to search for schools and apply for teaching positions. I'll share my insights on selecting the region and type of school for you, as well as navigating the application and interview process. And along the way I'll share some of my personal experiences from my teaching days as well as stories about some of the places I've traveled.
As the series progresses, I invite you to contact me with your questions about teaching overseas.

Cheers,
Andrea
