I was born in Seoul, South Korea and I now live in Perth, Australia. I had traveled many different countries before I settled down here. Traveling the world requires speaking foreign languages so I have learned and taught foreign languages for a long time. Australia is a very expensive country where rents could cost you 40000AUD and up easily. But wages are really high here. As a teacher, earning 100,000AUD is norm and some make more than 250,000AUD. Considering long summer school break, teachers do make more than 100AUD an hour. Everybody makes good money and naturally things are very expensive. In this expensive country, one has to work to survive. When youu work, you can make more than 30AUD for any kind of work. I used to teach English in other countries but here, I am teaching Korean for a living. I still study foreign language such as Russian for personal reasons I joined italki to be able to meet more students online. Offline tutoring is a hard job which requires driving around the town all day long. Moreover, expensive parking is another problem. I hope I can find more students here on italki.
