Online Teaching Allowed Her to Move to Thailand, Travel the World, and Fund her Own Business

Lala Sol is an online teacher turned business owner of Holistic New Earth! She is a world traveler, and has used online teaching with VIPKID and Gogokid to help her live as an expat in Chang Mai, Thailand and explore different cultures and ways of living. She is a certified mediation and yoga teacher, a therapist, and a holistic healer!

Lala actually introduced me to teaching ESL online through VIPKID 4 years ago! We went to Rollins College together, and we have met up several times while both living overseas in Southeast Asia. The last time we saw each other was randomly on a ferry to an island in Thailand! Haha! I am forever grateful to have met Lala. Her bringing me into the world of online teaching has changed my life.

I know this talk today will be really insightful if you’ve ever wanted to travel or start your own business.

Check out Lala’s Holistic New Earth website here and set up a free 25-minute consultation to see if you are a good fit for her private holistic wellness program: https://www.holisticnewearth.com/

This is by the same company, is cheaper, and has really good reviews:
