Ready to Rewrite the Second Act of Your Life?

If you've ever dreamed of exploring the world, earning a living while immersing yourself in new cultures, or simply breaking free from the 9-to-5 grind—Teaching Abroad was written for you.

Whether you're a midlife woman seeking a fresh start, an empty nester craving adventure, or a college-educated professional (man or woman!) wondering what’s next, this empowering guide shows you how teaching overseas can be more than a job—it can be a life transformation.

Author Karla McNeese, a divorced mom and former temp worker, found herself standing at a crossroads in her 40s. With no passport and plenty of nerves, she took a leap of faith and landed in China as a university instructor. What followed was a journey of self-discovery, confidence, friendship, and healing.

Inside this inspiring and practical guide, you’ll learn:

• The real-world steps to becoming a paid TEFL or university instructor abroad

• How to choose the best country and program for your needs

• What to expect from daily life, salary, housing, and culture

• How midlife experiences can make you more qualified—not less

• Tips for thriving overseas with chronic illness or anxiety

• What no one tells you about returning home (and why you may want to go back!)

If you're college-educated and crave something more from life, Teaching Abroad will show you how to trade routine for adventure—at any age.

The world is waiting. Your passport to purpose is here.
