Definitely one of the best posts I have read on this forum. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Would love to hear more about compound life as well for families.

We are getting ready to take our two kids overseas within the next two years . We did the international circuit for 5 years when we didn't have kids. That time we did it as a teacher and a trailing spouse. Now it will be as a teaching couple with two kids.

Love hearing stories about the positive impact on family life. I thought E.B White had a great comment when he said it was a gift you give to your kids. I couldn't agree more.

Hi Everyone,

My wife and I are planning on heading back overseas again, this time as a teaching couple. She has lots of experience including 5 years international, she has experience in all grade levels as well including loads of esl, I am a new teacher with less than 5 years experience in elementary. I know teaching couples are in demand but we do have two young kids 7 and 5. Just wondering if any of you are in similar situations and if you've found trying to land jobs difficult with school aged kids. Thanks
