In this episode of the Expat Empire Podcast, we will be hearing from Peter Kersting. Peter had many experiences with foreign students in his formative years growing up in Napa Valley in California, which made him interested in experiencing life outside of the United States. He studied abroad in the Netherlands for a semester during university and learned a lot from the experience. 
 
 
Hoping to go abroad again after graduating from university, Peter applied for many positions in his industry in many countries around the world but continued to get rejected. At that low point was when he found out about teaching English abroad and the TEFL program. Three months later, he was on a one-way flight to South Korea! Peter had an incredible time in Korea but decided to move back to the US right before the pandemic hit the world. Now he is working on new projects and has his sights set on getting back to Asia in the near future.
