Hi Robby! Nice to e-meet you! There’s a ton of stuff on this blog from my two-years in Taiwan if you just want to take a look around. There’s a teaching FAQ to help you get started with some of the basic questions and a couple of links for resources for how to starting looking for schools.

Best of luck to you!
