ITP - 124 Greg (currently in the Middle East) and Jacqueline (currently in Canada) talk once again with returning guest Noah Spaulding (currently in Pakistan) to reflect on his wide-ranging journey as an international educator. From Honduras to Qatar, China to Pakistan, Noah shares thoughtful stories about life and work overseas—what it's taught him, how it’s shaped his approach to education, and what it’s meant for his family. The conversation touches on everything from cultural adaptation and school systems to the realities of raising kids abroad and navigating customs with a suitcase full of “essentials.” It’s an honest and often humorous look at the rewards, challenges, and personal growth that come with living and teaching internationally. We’d like to publicly thank Noah for returning to the show!
