📍Barcelona, Spain 🇪🇸

“Say yes to as many things as you possibly can.” – Anika Hahnfeld

Meet Anika, one of our amazing teachers currently soaking up life in Spain through our In-class TESOL & Placement program. From cooking her own Spanish meals to savoring sunset strolls on Passeig de Gràcia, she’s discovering the beauty of slowing down and saying yes to new experiences. 🌅🥘☕

“I’ve really enjoyed the relaxed culture—long walks, slow mornings, and warm, friendly people who make you feel right at home,” she says. It’s not about checking boxes; it’s about embracing each moment.

💬 Her advice? Be open. Be curious. Say yes.

🌏 Meet Destiny, our powerhouse Sales Manager & resident Korea expert 🇰🇷💫

From skateboarding the streets of California to slurping Gamjatang in Seoul, Destiny’s journey has been anything but ordinary. With a background in Molecular Cell Biology and a TEFL certification in hand, she made the leap to teach abroad in South Korea, right in the middle of the COVID19 pandemic! 💥

After years of living, teaching, and traveling across Asia, Destiny knows what it’s like to start fresh in a new country - the good, the weird, and everything in between. That’s exactly why she’s now helping future teachers take the leap with confidence. 💬✨
