I lived in Doha, Qatar for nine months last year.  It was a great experience.  I was Project Manager for a teacher training project.  Our teachers trained local Math and Science teachers in best practices – content and pedagogy.  

My family joined me for six of the nine months.  Our daughters (preteens) had a great experience interacting with a multi-national population.  There were many western families in Doha and plenty of opportunities to connect through church or social events.

I would recommend teaching abroad to anyone who would like to experience a different way of life.  You need to be flexible and willing to step outside your comfort zone.  But once you do, you’ll thank yourself for doing so.
