I am quite nervous about what to expect, but cannot wait to go (even if it is ages still). Just wondering if anyone else is going to be out there at the same time as me, or if anyone has already done this project, or one similar, and can give me some help on...

I am intending to go to Vietnam in Sept. 2012 for 8 weeks to teach English. I medically retired from primary/ special needs teaching in 2009 after a fall. The "brain" still works, hence the move to TESOL. I visited Vietnam in 2000 and can't think of a better place to start my TEFL career! I look forward to chatting to like-minded travellers.. teachers.. "oldies" (I'm 51)! Happy New Year, Kevin

We don't have a professional security system at home, because honestly, I haven't felt the need for it so far. I use a very basic webcam monitoring service that's available off the internet. What I've done is - set up 2 webcams, one each at...

I white water rafted down the zambezi, built a hut for aid orphans, and went on safari.
