The thing I miss the most from my time teaching was the opportunities that I got to travel to different places. It truly was a lot of fun. When classes would end on a Friday, the weekend was open for travel and exploration. It really was as simple as that.
Where to go on the weekend? It meant asking other teachers what locations were the best or maybe even asking where the good shopping was. It seemed like there was always something to do.
Now, looking at the coming weekend, I feel bored and it’s just not as fun traveling around back home. The newness just isn’t there.
