Friends, I hardly ever ask for help. OK, that is a boldfaced lie. I ask for it all the time in the form of comments over at Shopper Lottie. However, this is different. For some time (like, 10 years), I have wanted to move abroad (get in line, sister). I have always had a crazy love affair with the U.K. and since visiting way back in 2010, I have never been able to forget about my one, true love.
For those who don’t know, I am at teacher in the U.S. I teach 3rd grade. I would love to be able to do something similar somewhere, anywhere in the U.K. I have friends in Scotland, so that would probably be preferable. I have heard that the education system is really very different when comparing England with Scotland, so one may be possible and the other out of my reach. I really don’t know.
I have contacted a couple of agencies, but the wait to hear a response is making me certifiably insane. I am not even sure they are legit or the correct way to go about this. HELP.
Long story short, can someone familiar with these parts give me any information they have that could help me in my endeavor? Even better, does anyone have connections that would better enable me to have even the slightest chance to attempt to live one of my dreams?
My loving thanks in advance.

I have no idea, but I want to do something similar. TAKE ME WITH YOU. I’ll be stalking this post, hoping someone with knowledge answers your questions 🙂
Hahaha! I hope I’ll find out something! Maybe you can fit in my suitcase??
If I can back away from the cookies, that might just work lol
Let me know if you’re successful with that 😬😜
I hope you do get to move to England
Thank you!! *crossing fingers and toes*
I have the same UK fascination!
It’s a wonderful place!!!
I’m really sorry for not having any input on this but I just wanted to give you props for actually following a dream like this! So many people live their lives not ever accomplishing their dreams and you’re just going for it! In awe of you, dont give up!
Aw! Thank you so much! I hope I’ll have something to say for it.
Hi ya – I’m from over the pond and if I can I will help. What is it that you need?
Hey friend! I really need to be able to connect with someone over there who works in a school or something. I really don’t know what I need specifically. I obviously need a lot of help 😜☺️
I’ll see what I can do for you. I wouldn’t think it would be too hard to get you over here and into a job. But I’ll find someone in the know. 🙂
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
It’s cool! ☺☺
Oh hey. I work in a school in London. What help do you need?
All the help!! Lol! Specifically how I can land a job being from the US. If you don’t mind, I’d love to speak more to you about this via email. Could you email me at unrchic2004@yahoo.com? Thank you so much!
I have 0 connections but I wish you the best. I still regret not moving to India when I had the chance, and I hate cliche mantras, but seriously…follow your heart.
Thanks friend!! Why don’t you try now??
I’m in a different place now, but I understand that ache.
😉
If the connections here fail…try networking on LinkedIn, maybe?
I’ve never thought of that! I thought that was for business connections and such. Good idea!
Can’t hurt…it’s free, right? 🙂
Exactly ☺️
School teachers are in a massively low supply here in the U.K so I honestly think that if you were to start making noises, they would snap you up right away. I have no contacts myself but am willing to be a help from the U.K if you should like me to.
All the best with you dream but I must remind you of the weather in the U.K. It is DIRE. Yesterday we had snow. At the end of April. Snow.
That’s all I have to say about the weather.
Hahaha I loved the weather there. We had snow the other day, too, so no big! I would love to make noise and be snatched up, but I don’t know who to make noise to. Thank you for your support, friend!
Well if I hear of anything. Maybe you could look at the areas that your are interested in moving to and write to the schools in the area. I have recently done a similar thing with the walk so I know it is easy enough to do….
Great idea!! Thanks ☺️
Pleasure.
I am so glad that I read this and your latest blog. It never ceases to amaze the number of kind, generous people there are in the world. One post and look at all the help you received. WOW.
WordPress is a wonderful place!!
