ITP - 136 brings back repeat guests Hannah and Jake Loney to share their winding international teaching journey from Brazil to Kuwait, back to the US, and now to Karachi, Pakistan. They talk candidly about teaching overseas with kids, differences in workload and respect compared to the US, small class sizes, strong school support, onboarding realities, and life on a secure campus. Along the way, they cover curriculum, travel, food challenges, cultural adjustments, and deliver a couple of classic police stories that only international teaching can produce. The big takeaway is simple and earned the hard way. Stay open minded, fall in love with the school not the country, and some of the best experiences come from places you never planned to land.

The International Teacher Podcast is a bi-weekly discussion with experts in international education. New Teachers, burned out local teachers, local School Leaders, International school Leadership, current Overseas Teachers, and everyone interested in international schools can benefit from hearing stories and advice about living and teaching overseas.
