S3, E71 - In this captivating episode of the podcast, (Greg the Single Guy has internet problems) host Jacqueline Mallais engages in a lively discussion with Annette Gubbels-van Orden, an experienced international educator originally from the Netherlands, currently based in the vibrant city of Hanoi, Vietnam. Annette's journey in international teaching is as inspiring as it is diverse, having navigated the challenges of online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic to now leading high school mathematics at the United Nations International School. She delves into her life's journey, revealing how her family, including her husband and two children, have adapted to various international settings, with personal anecdotes that are both enlightening and heartwarming. Particularly striking is the story of her son, who, having grown up in a constantly shifting international environment, is now pursuing medicine in Amsterdam, requiring additional studies to meet the Netherlands' entry requirements.
