It's a great first hand look at leaving everything you know behind This book is all about something everyone wants to do, but never does! It's a great first hand look at leaving everything you know behind to have an unforgettable experience in a foreign country. If anyone is thinking about going to teach English abroad, or has already done something like that, this is a great book to read! It's also a great book to read if you are interested in traveling. Amazing read!. "Anything Ron makes is worth reading/listening to" according to Lindsay Robinson. I haven't gotten too far into this one yet - but Ron left a comfortable job in the center of Indiana to embark on an adventure to South Korea that you would be crazy not to read about - keep it up Ron!
