NomadicJoe
Hello and welcome! My name is Joe Jarrett aka nomadicjoe. I was an elementary school teacher in Toronto. From 2010 to 2020 I was very fortunate to have done more than my sharing of traveling. I took advantage of three golden opportunities that being a teacher in Toronto provided for me.
The first was a 4 over 5 plan, wherein you amortize four years of salary over five. That means you work for four years at 80% of your annual salary and in the fifth year you get paid 80% but you have a year leave. It is the only way I could have saved to afford the traveling I did. I took advantage of this twice and literally traveled around the world both times, once in August 2010 to July 2011 and then again in August 2017 to July 2018.
I have also participated in a teacher exchange to Melbourne in 2016 for the year and in Project Overseas where I volunteered my time for three summers - 2013 in St Vincent and 2014 and 2015 in Ghana, to work with teachers in the developing world.
