My family is planning to move from Boston, MA to Charleston, SC this summer. BUT, we realized that since we're not committed to being in Charleston immediately that we could possibly do some overseas…Continue

Thank you for the add. It is definitely taking some getting used to. I owned a business in IL & now I'm primarily an employee. Excited to help these people grow their businesses, but excited to start my own again at some point :)
Hi Geoff - that's for your answer regarding prenatal massage. I'd love to catch up with you next time I'm up your way. I love your business concept! I'm a Yoga (RYT200) and Zumba instructor working on my group fitness instructor certification through ACE. I eventually plan on getting into Personal Training.
Hi Geoff,
Yes, I did travel and work that winter. I spent 3 months at a small hotel on the southern coast of Mexico. I didn't get rich but I did pay for my trip and came home with a little money in my pocket!
My strategy was to Google "yoga retreat centers" all over the world. I also searched for small B&B's, meditation, holistic and nutritional healing places, places that I felt I would like to be a part of and in locations that I wanted to visit. There are a lot of jobs available in the cruise ship and club med industry but I am not a glitzy, cater-to-the-rich, kind of girl!
I started sending out resumes and cover letters all over the world in about October. Quite a few people replied, some did not. Most already had an MT but expressed future intrest. For me, I really just needed one to come back that felt right and it did!
I highly reccommend going for it! Diligence and persistance are your best allies! Just keep at it and don't get discouraged! Also, keep a list of who you contact, their website, email, etc and keep a little record of who repiles and with what kind of reply. I found early on that I was forgetting who I contacted and who I hadn't!
Oh, there were also a few Craigslist offers in Costa Rica and I think Jamaica...
Keep your search broad and creative!
Best of luck to you and if I can be of further help just let me know!
