Family & Friends

Saying see-you-soon, with a bit more peace of mind.

Sending someone you love off to teach overseas is bittersweet. Here are the resources we've gathered to help everyone stay close.

Making phone calls

Use Skype or your favourite app for free computer-to-computer video chats and inexpensive calls to landlines.

Time differences

Try a time-zone converter so deciding when to call doesn't take an entire afternoon.

Sending money

OFX is a great way to send a special-occasion or just-because boost across borders without losing chunks of it to fees.

Flights & visits

Want to visit your teacher? Contact us and we'll connect you with our travel agent for preferential service and discounts.

Travel advisories

Government travel websites have great info on health, laws, culture, climate and emergency contacts. We can point you to the right ones.

One more thing

If there's anything else we can do to help you feel more comfortable before, during or after their journey, please contact us directly. We've been there too — we know it's not simple, but there are definitely ways to make the transition easier.
