Beijing is an incredible international city with friendly people, delicious food, and an ancient culture. I moved to Beijing in 2019 and lived there for a year as an English Teacher. I worked at Wall Street English which is an international school dedicated to empowering adult students through language. I never imagined myself living in China, but I can say it was one of the best experiences of my life. Through this experience, I learned that sometimes it's best to do something that challenges and shapes you. I visited the Great Wall, epic tea gardens, the Forbidden City, and rang in Chinese New Year with more dumplings than I could ever eat and with the streets decorated with beautiful Chinese 🏮 lanterns. Living abroad is daunting, and at times, exhausting, but also something that I recommend everyone do at least once in their lives, I promise you won't regret it!
