I have found myself in an interesting spot in my life. I have my Bachelor's and a friend of mine is in Thailand teaching. I am 39 and fairly rooted but at a major turning point finding myself unemployed in the unstable economy. I have recently been talking to my friend about teaching abroad and a few of my questions are: Do most people store their things or sell and minimize before moving? What is truly important to move? I have done research about bringing my dog (who I am very attached to) are there others who have their pets with them? How much of the language is important to know? Is there a general person I can speak to about all of my questions? I would truly appreciate any input. Thanks!!
