Janeen has lived in Kuwait, Turkey, and now Ecuador. She has been away from America for 7 years, and finds that the definition of home is a bit skewed now. Janeen wondered what else was out there and found that the teaching profession in America did not provide enough of a teaching salary for her to enjoy traveling abroad regularly. Therefore, living in a more centralized place for travel, afforded her more travel. As a teacher from America she easily found work teaching at an international school abroad and was able, in 2 years, to get out of debt, accrued from student loans. Janeen found that the best financial packages were from schools in the Middle East and Asia, and she chose Kuwait. Janeen found the teaching opportunities through the following websites: teachaway.com  and TIEonline.com. Janeen eventually wanted to take a break from working and had saved enough money to do so. She then relocated to a Latin American country, Ecudaor, which was very affordable. Janeen is teaching English , 20 hours a week online  and also discovering what other options, skill sets, abilities, she has that can translate outside classroom. She has the flexibility to choose her schedule now and travel more and enjoy her free time more.
