I’m from Québec, Canada and I always wanted to travel in Asia, particularly in China, to discover these cultures that are so different from ours. I did my bachelor degree in Physics and here I am in Changchun, teaching English and French, for a one-year gap before continuing my studies. I really enjoy the teaching job! It is motivating to see these kids, sometimes starting from nothing, being able to speak to you in your language after some weeks, with the big smile on their faces. Moreover, the staff working at the school are welcoming and helpful and the work atmosphere is always very pleasant.

The city of Changchun is lovely. There are lots of parks, shopping centers, restaurants, bars, … and the local people are extremely sociable. There is so much to discover here!! (I’m not sure one year will be enough)
