Are you about to take a BIG trip?

In the past, so often we find very good writers and picture takers late in their journey. By the time they are identified and nominated their trips are almost over. So if you are about to start a trip, and want the exposure to fellow Travelbloggers, and are committed to writing blogs about your journey, then please let us know about you...when are you leaving, where are you going (rough itinerary as us TBers don't like to be tied to a schedule), what has inspired you to take this trip, and whatever else you wish to add so that we can get to know you better.

You are exactly the kind of Travelblogger we were hoping to get to know! My son is also teaching English, but in Bangkok...his contract expires in March 2013. He wants me to take the Silk Roadwith him after that. I will start following you, and am looking forward to your blogs. Reply to this

Thanks for the warm welcome, you guys! :-) Bob and Linda, I wish you and your son safe travels in Asia next year. What a wonderful journey that'll be! I was looking at you profile and coincidentally I went to high school in Denver! I adore CO! And I lived in Belgium as a child because my father was stationed there (Air Force). Small world, right?

Dave/Merry Jo, thanks for the photo post! I'm peeking through your SE Asia blogs now looking for ideas and tips. :-) Enjoy Cuba, my best friend is Cuban and always talks about it. What an intriguing place with a unique history.

Welcome to Travelblog. You will truly find us to be the friendliest travelblog around...nothing corporate about it at all. Everyone knows pretty much everyone, and we keep trying to reach out to new commers, such as in this Forum topic. So thanks for identifying yourselves.

I will be Following you as you tour the Southwest. I've looked at your itinerary, and it looks great. It will give you enough time in each of the top destinations to get a sense of place.

My wife and I will be traveling to Australia in October before seeing New Zealand. That's good that your son is there. Reply to this

Thanks for letting us know. I've just looked at your blogs from your previous trips, and signed up as a Follower so that I see all your new blogs. You already have five or more Followers so I won't be able to nominate you for Blogger of the Week. All your blogs will be on the Front Page so should attract more Followers. You have a fantastic itinerary so we should all have fun. Reply to this

There are teaching jobs available in most of the countries that you have listed, however, most will require you to have some form of teaching qualification. TEFL is usually the minimum requirement. Teaching without a certificate is still possible, although the schools will generally not be professional outfits and the pay will be quite low.

Also, if you are going to teach then you will be expected to commit to a absolute minimum of 3 months.

There are quite a few teachers (including myself) here on TB. Try reading through some of their blogs, many of which offer a lot of good and often humorous advice.
