Ep. 76: Life and Teaching in Abu Dhabi — A Desert Dispatch

October 13, 2019

This is the first episode of the podcast recorded after the move to abroad to UAE. We open segment one of this episode with a guest appearance from Interchangeable White Ladies co-host, Hope Teague-Bowling. We discussed our transition to life in the UAE and our new lives at the American Community School of Abu Dhabi.

In segment two, we spoke to three teachers. Each person talked about their decision to move abroad, how then enjoy life in Abu Dhabi, and how teaching at an international school is different than teaching in our various home countries.

We wrap with the wind-down, where Jordan confessed to loving Katie Downs and the Kardashians and was almost banned from the studio.
