The most memorable experience

April 17, 2025by: Lilly Myskey - United StatesProgram: Teach English in Thailand
10

My teaching internship was one of the best experiences I could've asked for. My first month in December was getting my TEFL certification/course and meeting other volunteers. I loved this part as it was a great way to meet people instantly and get accustomed to your new environment. Afterward, my NGO helped me get my accommodation, and I began teaching English. I loved the school I was placed in. The teachers and students were so welcoming and kind. Once March was over, it was time for the students to go on school break, which allowed me plenty of time to travel and explore Thailand. The culture is so rich, full of love, and undeniably incredible. I would do this project time and time again. RealStep helped me SO much in the beginning and helped me get accustomed to my NGO in Thailand. Both companies were amazing, and I couldn't have asked for a better support team.
