Moving abroad to teach English can sound like the ultimate escape — new country, new culture, a fresh start… but it can also feel like a massive leap into the unknown.
This week on Quarter-Life Questions podcast, I’m joined by Alex Ranahan, who spent time teaching English overseas before returning to the UK to build his own virtual events business. What might have started as an adventure ended up shaping his life, career and the way he runs his company today.
✨ In this episode, we chat about:
- What it’s actually like teaching English abroad day-to-day
- The challenges no one talks about when moving overseas
- How living abroad builds confidence and independence
- The transferable skills teaching gives you
- How Alex’s time abroad influenced his virtual events business
💬 More about Alex:
Alex Ranahan is the founder of a UK-based virtual events business. After spending time teaching English overseas, he returned home with a completely new perspective on communication, leadership and adaptability, all skills that now underpin his business. His journey is proof that career paths don’t have to be linear to be valuable.
