Last year, Justin Greak joined us on the podcast to share how he balances being a teacher with a his love of travel, and this year he’s joining us from Sweden!
Justin decided in summer of 2016 that he wanted to seek out a teaching opportunity abroad, so he began applying all around Europe, and found an opportunity in Sweden. On this episode, he talks about what it was like to uproot his life in Texas to move to Sweden, the challenges of getting a work visa, and what life has been like in Sweden.
We chat about the differences between teaching + live in the US vs. Sweden, what has surprised Justin + what the biggest adjustments have been like for him.
Enjoy!
