no job? teach abroad!

Teaching English abroad

is a great way to experience the world while acclimating yourself to the global economy. connecting with and understanding cultures facilitates ATI member success while enabling individual progress through teaching and learning. careers teaching abroad educate and challenge individuals through interaction and observation of foreign cultures.

i plan to take an ESL course in the city over summer. this seems like a great way to get teaching experience and experience another part of the world.

my vice

VICE is a NYC based canadian magazine and media conglomerate that focuses on international arts and culture. another helpful source for finding visual material culture while planning lessons. the "travel" section gets very good stories from all over the world. the best  part about vice is that the coverage of news is international, not just centered in the u.s.

kickstarter

Kickstarter:

kickstarter gives artists a chance to share their ideas and hard work with the internet world. they share their plans and set a goal for funding. People can donate money to help artists get on their way to accomplishing goals. artist have to offer some kind of reward. rewards are things like a copy of what’s being made, a limited edition, or a custom experience related to the project.  if the artist do not succeed in reaching their goal in a certain amount of time, the money is returned to donators. credit cards are not charged unless the goal is met.

i think this is pretty amazing. i cannot count how many times i've had big ideas that i've immediately shut down because of financial impossibility. this is also great motivation for artist to continue doing and making and set deadlines. deadlines are something that school has provided for me over the last 5 years, and i'm curious how i'll motivate myself in the future. maybe kickstarter?! we'll see..
