About Donovan
Travel blogger. ESL teacher. Optimistic millennial adventurer. Hi, I'm Don!
Let's see, where to begin? I was born and raised in the best city in the world: Los Angeles, California!
And well, my journey teaching English abroad began shortly after receiving my Bachelor of Arts Degree in English from Morehouse College in the spring of 2009.
By Dec. 2009 I landed my first ever teaching opportunity at an English winter immersion camp in Seoul, South Korea. Though only one month's duration, it was an adventure abroad that would forever change my life.

By Dec. 2009 I landed my first ever teaching opportunity at an English winter immersion camp in Seoul, South Korea. Though only one month's duration, it was an adventure abroad that would forever change my life.
And by 2012, guess what? I'd return to the world of ESL and accept a full 1 year ESL teaching position in China. I know, China!?
Fast forward about 7 1/2 years later and it's crazy—over the years I've experienced so much. I've learned more than I ever could have imagined about cultures around the world, taught thousands of kids, met people from nearly every corner of the globe, and made dozens of trips across China, it's neighboring regions, and to far away countries like Australia and Dubai.
My journey in ESL has been one heck of an adventure. I've got so many great stories to tell, so many photos and videos for you to see, and so many resources to share.
And with that, I created Don's ESL Adventure as a platform to display any and everything covering my life teaching English abroad, living and working in China, and travels across the world.
I hope that you too can discover what it's like living and working as an ESL teacher overseas, or feel inspired to explore awesome travel destinations you may have not only ever visited yet, but maybe never even knew existed! Welcome to Don's ESL Adventure!
