When a friend of mine recently suggested that I get a Zero Halliburton, at first I thought he was talking about the company with ties to Dick Cheney. After doing a quick look on the net, I realized that a Zero Halliburton is one of the highest quality briefcases you can buy.

They were first made in the 1930’s and have been made with exacting quality ever since. In fact, they are only brand of briefcases that are still made in the USA. They’ve got several different styles and are available around the world. It sounds like you can trust this Halliburton.

Snow In Las Vegas

I was just watching the news the other day. I can not believe that it snowed so much in las vegas. It’s amazing only in the amount of snow they got. Normally it snows at least once every couple of years and every year Las Vegas flirts with snow.

The positive thing about snow in Vegas is that it melts very quickly while giving the ski area at Mt Charleston a deep base of snow for winter skiing. And that’s just another great reason to visit Las Vegas.

Know Where You Are With A GPS

When you first hit the road exploring the world as a TEFL teacher, you usually pack the usual travel items all in your backpack. This includes a dictionary, some reading books, a personal health kit, work clothes, fun clothes and maybe a few travel guide books. There is one extra that it should include and that is a GPS.

A little handheld portable GPS unit is a great gadget to help you know exactly where you are. Often times when traveling in a new country, you won’t be able to tell from the signs where exactly you are, but with a GPS you will know in an instant.

Trust me, you are traveling in a foreign country, it’s great to actually know where you are.

Bags For Traveling And More

I think it’s kind of interesting the bags that people buy when they start thinking about where to travel and what they will do when they get there. Some people will just go with duffle bags, some will go with hard cover suitcases, still others will choose to go with a designer bag like a Ju Ju Be. While the choices may seem different, they all satisfy needs and that’s all that really matters.

Dreaming Of A Winter Wonderland

I think I might be a rare TEFLer. I know many TEFL teachers dream of heading abroad to teach English in a tropical climate. I know a significant number of Canadian teachers have set aside their tire chains in exchange for a teaching job in such exotic tropical locations as Thailand and Costa Rica.

I say that I am different because as I look to head abroad teaching again, I am looking for a cold climate. I want to experience the cold weather of winter time. I want to see tire chains on cars and trucks and I want to play with my kids in the snow. It’s not that easy to find this type of TEFL destination so I am heading to you, my loyal readers, for insight.

Can you give some feedback and help me find a cold weather TEFL destination?
