The current rules in Scotland mean that anyone travelling from outside the CTA has to quarantine for ten days on arrival. Please check the government website for the latest information on arriving in the UK.

Please check the links bellow to learn about what is happening in Myanmar. Before I left Myanmar I had so many questions about what the journey would be like. I might be well travelled but I had no experience travelling during the pandemic and basically hav...

I'm not concerned about money or price of living, I'm only concerned about the qualifications I'll need to work there teaching, I want to make a change in this world especially for countries like Myanmar (Burma).

I got back to Yangon before all the lockdowns happened so I was lucky. As far as I'm aware you still a letter explaining why you are needed in the country in order to enter as well as all the relevant health checks, so it's not the easiest process to get here at the moment. We are also not allowed to travel outside of Yangon at the moment and there are still stay at home orders in most parts of the country. Hope this was helpful! Best of luck with your plans in the New Year!
