As a waitress

In a cocktail bar

That much is true….

I knew that teaching English this time around just wasn’t going to do it for me (Like Freddie, I previously taught English in Korea). I was looking for a different experience in Quito. When the opportunity to waitress at a popular Vietnamese restaurant called Uncle Ho’s came up, I knew the fun quotient had multiplied so I hopped on board.

My job consists of meeting people from all over the world and hearing their stories, all the while eating delicious curry and drinking fresh juice (passionfruit and strawberry, anyone?). What more could you want?

In my next post I’ll share more on how I got my job and let you in on my number one tip for finding work abroad.

Grading papers for the first time in my life!
