"made it happen"
You made it happen, which should be a great source of pride. A lot of people like the idea of travel, but you actually did it.
How I did it: It was the right time in my life. It was time to commit to spending a year abroad. I talked to friends who came to Korea, researched it online, applied, Gathered Documents!, interviewed and was accepted as an English teacher.
Lessons & tips: Travel when you are young! I know many people who have husbands, babies, MA degrees, and careers that prevent them from traveling abroad for any length of time. I wish I would have traveled when I was younger, but I'm doing it now! :)
Resources: If you want to go to Korea, find a good recruiter. I used World English Service out of New Zealand and they were very helpful. Also, reasearch a lot on the internet and check out blogs and such, like on Dave's ESL cafe!
