Hi everybody, I always intended to buy a vehicle and buzz off for a while but went to Cambodia instead.
I have leased a house here and hope to start teaching English soon to people who need conversational English for work, tuk tuk drivers, cafe staff, for example. I thought "G'day Mate" a good name for the school as this is what the locals all say when they know youre from Oz.
I would love some help, short or long term if anyone would like to join me. I don't need money, just moral support and help teaching 1 hr a day maybe.
My house is at Sihanoukville, a beach tourist area so there is western food available, some english spoken and the people are so very cheerful and friendly. Everything is cheap, living is easy. I can show you around town.
I'm an old gal, 72, and I would welcome long or short term visitors, male, female, couples, all good. I have 2 spare AC bedrooms with bathrooms I would rent $50 a week a room. Both furnished with queen sized beds. But I may be able to pay you for some teaching time I hope. All negotiable.
Love to hear from you.

What a stunning offer! If I weren't so determined to do my thing travelling Oz and keeping a journal, I'd be very tempted to sign up, auntyfudge. Sounds like you've really got it made over there in Cambodia. How times have changed since the 60s and 70s. Good luck!

Yeah, I'm with Gary - wish I'd heard about this a few months ago we may well have taken up your offer but now we have other commitments (a 23 foot caravan for one thing :) )

Thanks for the positive feedback folks. I am a tad nervous not being a teacher of English and feeling rather alone but people here are so poor and can get jobs more easily if they can speak some English so I am giving it a go. Wish me luck.

We have a friend who did the same thing in an orphanage. He has even found a bride and now has a daughter from his sojourns in Cambodia. He just loved the people so much he kept going back to help and now he'll be there even longer!!
