I was looking for a Nintendo 64 controller on craigslist and found a misplaced ad for teaching English in China.

Completely changed the course of my life, I've been traveling ever since.

I assume you travelled to China due to that ad. What other places have your travels taken you.

What, also, were the requirements for the job? Were you certified to teach English already, or did they really just need a native speaker?

I did start teaching in China through that ad without any certifications or experience, which is fairly common.

A lot of countries, China included, just require a native or fluent English speaker for a teaching job.

I've been to about 30 countries so far; most of Asia, western Europe, india, morocco, I'm in Panama right now.
