Tapping Into Teaching Opportunities Abroad with Andrea Bernard

From Police Officer to Teaching Abroad – Andrea Bernard’s Global Journey

In this episode of Digipreneur FM, we sit down with Andrea Bernard, the founder of Boldly Beyond Borders, to explore her inspiring journey from law enforcement in Trinidad and Tobago to becoming an international educator.

Andrea shares how she transitioned from the police service to teaching abroad, starting with a TEFL certification and eventually working in Spain and Cambodia. She breaks down the process of getting certified, applying to schools, securing work permits, and adjusting to life in countries where English isn't the first language.

We also discuss:

• How Andrea’s global journey started with one conversation and a self-paced TEFL course

• Why some countries prefer you to be physically present before offering a job

• The kind of relocation support schools can provide, including airfare, housing, visa support, and tuition discounts for children

• What financial preparation is needed to move without securing a job in advance

• The emotional realities of living abroad — from dealing with culture shock to missing family

• Andrea’s advice for people thinking about moving abroad and the signs that it might be the right time

• How her platform, Boldly Beyond Borders, is helping people from the Caribbean learn about international opportunities

Whether you’re actively considering teaching abroad or just curious about what life is like as a Caribbean expat educator, this episode offers valuable insights, practical steps, and personal reflections on what it really takes to start a new life overseas.
