    About this ebook

    A diary of teaching English abroad for the first time, this book chronicles the leap into something completely new.
    Elliot Lord began teaching English in Slovakia, straight after finishing university. Excited by the whole idea of knowing nothing about the country or how to teach, this diary gives insights in discovering another culture, how to keep a cool head when others around him were losing theirs and how life started to become enjoyable with time.
    He visited many places, made lots of new friends and persevered with learning the job. This book would suit people who are thinking of taking a similar step in their lives, or those who have already done it, too.
